Warm greetings!
The purpose of the Into Integrity FAST is to call attention to--and confront--the lack of disclosures by specific organizations/leaders/people affected by the international Nordic Capital Investment KB fraud (NCI) as well as the related dismissals that Michele (my wife) and I have received. I am FAsting for genuine contrition and STriking for resolute action within the Church Mission Community (CMC). 

I am doing FAST in the spirit of the consecrated fast and repentance called for by the prophet Joel (Joel 1:14).  And I am doing it in line with the concerns and requests in the Shine the Light-Together petition and by its signatories.

This is a 40 day FAST divided into two 20-day periods:
--Period  1: 6 June--26 June 2019, towards the start of Global Integrity Day
(9 June, our suggested annual day)
--Period 2: 6 December-26 December 2019, towards the start of International Anti-Corruption Day  
(9  December, United Nations)

I did seven podcasts and seven blogposts (see summaries below): Overview, Importance and Motives, Praying Good and Naming Names, Honoring God, Go Women!, Repent!, and Healing the Broken Body.

What’s next?—Join with us! During the current Into Integrity-Interim (26 June-6 December 2019)…we continue to pray and call for integrity and action, even as we have done for the past 12 years (see PETRA People weblog). Part two of the  Into Integrity FAST is scheduled for 6-16 December 2019. Colleagues all over the world--and you--are invited to join in the FAST during all or part of this time as well—for the purposes described above as well as for your own specific purposes regarding integrity in the CMC.

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support.
Take a stand. Speak out. Live in integrity.

And spread the word.

--This is a very important episode, as represented in its length and content.
We call for prayers of grace and action as we name specific names--organizations and people.

--In Part One I recount my daily morning prayer walks to the Atlantic culminating with an invigorating plunge into the late-Spring ocean. I also share about Paul the Apostle's examples of naming people with his pen and confronting people in person--for good.

--Part Two gives verbatim quotes from important documents and initiatives over the past seven years that name names of organizations and leaders in the NCI fraud that are being requested to assist.

--The Into Integrity FAST is fundamentally not only about specific people, a protracted fraud, and dismissals. Rather Into Integrity is fundamentally about honoring God, His holy Name, and seeing Him glorified. And the result? His character is better understood and His name honored among all peoples, nations, tribes, and tongues.

 --In this podcast, I share some personal reflections on women who rise up, take risks, and stay the moral course regardless of what others may do or say. I give some brief examples from Scripture and and what women in Liberia did o rise p and confront a bloody civil war and corruption. And I have been praying specifically for women and for specific women the last three days....

--Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support. I will be regularly sharing updates via brief posts and podcasts in the coming days. Please spread the word.
-- In this sixth podcast, I share some personal reflections about five of the churches in the Book of Revelation that were both affirmed in some areas yet confronted by Christ in other areas, all in need of serious repentance. I make applications for us all today in the NCI fraud, dismissals, and the Church Mission Community: How can we harken to Jesus' love call-command for repentance?

--I also share my recent prayers, intercessions, and the spiritual warfare on behalf of specific people and all of us, calling on the Word of the Lord--the Sword of the Spirit--the Spirit of Light--for mercy, courage, and the grace to repent. This is day 18 of FAST--40 days of a combined food FAst and a hunger STrike (see purpose statement at end).

 --In this seventh pod-post, the final one in the first half of the 40 day FAST, I want to bring our attention to Rand Guebert''s Professional Review which is posted on the Loving Truth and Peace weblog.  I share verbatim excerpts from the overview-purpose:

--"This professional review has been organized to draw together the various events that have led to the dismissal of Drs. Kelly and Michele O’Donnell from YWAM [and other organizations/networks] and to the potential loss of millions of dollars by investors in Nordic Capital Investments (NCI) and Stichting Dutch Investments (SDI).  Many of these events are related and overlap, and this review attempts to place them in context." (p.1)

--In short: "Review and learn from what happened, support good practice, and restore relationships."
(p. 113)

--I also strongly encourage you to carefully read and consider the conclusions in the 
Integrated Summary (two pages) as well as the summaries of  any of the four main sections of interest to you (some excerpts included).

--You can also read the companion posting for this podcast on the Into Integrity weblog.

--Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and support. My prayers and voice will continue on behalf of specific leaders, people, and organizations in the Church-Mission Community--for genuine contrition and resolute action. I will be sharing periodically over the next few months en route to part two of the Into Integrity FAST (to start around the time of the UN's International Anti-Corruption Day, 9 December).
