ReconciliAsian End of Year Report
Annual Report 2021
Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits. (Psalm 103:2)
What a year it has been. In the midst of a long and hard pandemic year of continued grief and loss, we look back at 2021 and give thanks to God who has been with us. We began the year with the theme of Jubilee unpacking what that means for us at this extraordinary time. We created space to reimagine what the Year of the Lord's Favor could be like in our relationship to the land and man-made borders. We explored how the liberative message of the gospel could transform worship and empower us in the deep work of anti-racism and decolonization. We recognized the trauma of war- especially the Korean War and Iraq War that continues to devastate our countries. We ended the year with a four-week webinar on embodying the call and care for God's creation that circled us back to the vision of Jubilee.
In addition to the webinars, we now have four cohorts that meet regularly to deepen our discipleship: Korean Diaspora cohort, North Korea study cohort, women's writing cohort, and Asian Anabaptist cohort. We are so grateful for the rich relationships and conversations that have flowed in these cohorts.
In summary, we offered 17 webinars and reached over 500 people through our programs this pandemic year thanks to your support and participation.
