Global Partners
 
Mike Miller serves with Reclaim

Looking forward to 2026 there are a lot of exciting things coming.

Mike will be leading a newly created community of practice for Reclaim staff who engage primarily through Consulting and Training work. I will be joining with them to discover how Reclaim can best support them and their work.

He has also been tasked with automating more of our processes to minimize workload, maximize effectiveness and improve our ability to lean fully into our mission, vision, and values.

He is also working on scheduling some travel to work with our teams on the ground.

Prayer and Praise

Praise for the opportunity to engage in good work that meets the needs of the world and also brings dignity, hope and life to me personally.

  • Praise for some great times with family this past year.
  • Pray for God’s wisdom as I live into new responsibilities within Reclaim in the coming year.
  • Pray for increased financial partnerships as my budget was underfunded last year. One significant impact is that the cost of traveling to program locations has increased a lot. Previously I could plan around $ 2,000 per trip and now I must plan for $ 3,000 plus. The reduced finances have limited my ability to travel and work on the ground with Reclaim programs.

Giving – The Why & How
Generosity & Faithfulness: Financial Giving
Financial giving to the work of God through the local church is a form of worship. The Bible teaches followers of Jesus to give regularly, proportionally, generously, joyfully, and sacrificially (2 Cor. 8:1-15; Luke 21:1-4). Your contributions support Christ-centered outreach projects and partnerships locally and around the world; ongoing church ministries, programs, and events; administration and facility-related expenses; and staff compensation. We don’t pass a plate, but if you want to give, you can contribute online at www.gfol.org, use the QR code here, text GIVE to 720-513-1722, or use the “Offering” box located inside the worship center doors. Thank you! 
 
Financial Update
(Fiscal year 7/1/25 – 6/30/26 Budget = $386,801.00)

Communion / The Lord’s Supper

Communion/The Lord’s Supper
Here at Grace, we celebrate Communion every Sunday. Also known as the Lord’s Supper, this ceremony was instituted by Jesus Christ to help his followers worship Him and honor the work He has done to save us from our sins and make us right with God. In the biblical book of 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, the Apostle/Missionary Paul said this: 
 … the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
 

The bread symbolizes the body of Jesus given for us. The wine symbolizes the blood of Jesus shed for us. If you have put your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Savior, Lord, King, and the Forgiver of your sins, and your heart is right toward God and his people (1 Corinthians 11:27-28), you are encouraged to serve yourself at one of the Communion tables during worship. Eat the bread and drink the wine to remember Jesus’ death, give thanks, and declare your faith in Him. If you decide not to participate because you are not a believer in Christ or for some other reason, please know that we respect your choice
