Paul pursued his work as one who was ready to fight for what needed to be done and as one who saw the work as a race with a perceived finish line. He was committed with one singular focus.

This is what the Reichert Award is all about. It is about recognizing that God cares about lost sheep around the world and that we have a major role to play in that. It is a drama and God is the director. We are given a part in the play, not everyone has this opportunity.

The Award may have many other valuable aspects about it. It may be an iron sharpening tool to some and to others a guide line for how to develop a global mission strategy in their local church.

May the filling out of this award package be a fun and enjoyable experience for you and your mission team and may it spur you on to running hard and finishing well

Sincerely;

Ron Bonar

District Superintendent
