FORGIVENESS
Did you know that both John Hopkins and Stanford university have given credit to healing from the power of forgiveness. Lets not ever underestimate the blessing and freedom found in offering full and final forgiveness. To fully understand the model and source of forgiveness we must look back 2000 years. Below is one of the most incredible resources on forgiveness we’ve ever come across.

Most Christians harbor some unforgiveness. Imagine what could happen if your congregation forgave. Marriages saved and healed. Family relationships restored. Frictions in the church removed. Blockages to healing and prayer taken away. A more loving church community. Peace restored. People walking more closely with the Lord than ever before.
You want this. And most importantly, the Lord wants it. That's why Bruce Wilkinson and TEACH EVERY NATION created this Churchwide Campaign Kit. So that your fellowship can experience the healing, restorative power of forgiveness.

The Ministry of Reconciliation - 2nd Corinthians 5:11-21
11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. 12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. 13 If we are “out of our mind,” as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! 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 people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
