"A Time to Heal, A Time to Pray"


Bible

2 Corinthians 5:18-19 (NIV)

18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ
and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was
reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins
against them. And he has committed to us the message of
reconciliation.

President Barack Obama
United States of America
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, DC 20500

Dear President Obama:

Man is plagued with the divisions of unresolved conflict around the world. Nations are limited by the deep scars of pain inflicted over generations of wars, slavery, oppression, et cetera among its inhabitants. Many countries have a great need for restoration so that there can be economic prosperity.

As restoration occurs, deep emotional scars vanish, healing occurs, and resources are released for restoration and peaceful sustainability.

In the spirit of peace, I humbly request your support for the establishment of the World Day of Reconciliation and Healing From the Legacy of Enslavement on the "Last Saturday in August." This is an extension of the observance of the National Day of Reconciliation and Healing from the Legacy of Enslavement on the "3rd Friday in June" in recognition of the tradegy of the Atlantic Slave Trade on the African Diaspara.

The world needs a model of reconciliation and healing that can be applied to all that deeply divides us. The World Day of Reconciliation and Healing From the Legacy of Enslavement will give all of mankind the opportunity to work toward healing, restoration and peace.

Sincerely,



Rev. Ronald V. Myers, Sr., M.D
