Reconciliation ministry begins in Asia. Sri Lanka April/May 2012

Through the Micah Network, I'm invited to Sri Lanka. Cathy from Le Rucher accompanies me. First we visit different parts of the Island and meet the different groups to better understand the history of the conflict.
24 Christian leaders associated with the National Christian Council attend a HWEC in Colombo to asses if HWEC is suitable for Sri Lanka, as Sri Lanka is a multi-faith country and the Christian church is a small minority. HWEC is a Biblical seminar, aimed first at healing the church.

Tamils and Singhalese take their wounds to the cross.

75% of those present decide it is suitable, as there are ethnic divisions within the church.  It is decided to also contact the Evangelical Alliance and the Assemblies of God church as they are the main other Christian bodies in Sri Lanka.
