One Voice Ministries, Inc.
One Voice Ministries is an inspiration of the Holy Spirit to carry the message of Jesus Christ to whole world; but with a strong focus on encouraging the church and its leadership. In this hour, those that claim to be in the Body of Christ need the challenge and edifying of the scripture to truly embrace and walk in the newness of life; to be awakened to what it means to be “salt and light” in this generation.
While One Voice is dedicated to pour out the Word of God on the people of God to edify the saints, we will always welcome the call to share the gospel with the lost; crying out to them that it is the narrow path of truth that leads to eternal life.Ministers of Reconciliation Support Advocates provides Christian Support Advocates who minister to, pray for and walk alongside those who have concerns regarding interactions or incidents with law enforcement officials. As a part of our service, we will accompany concerned citizens as they file formal complaints with the appropriate entities so that they will have support and not be alone in the process of seeking resolution.
If you desire to become a support advocate, please read the following and determine whether you are willing to commit to the process and principles of our ministry. All support advocates must first and foremost have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ with accompanying fruit.
1. Listen intently to your concerned citizen's experience without dominating the conversation or becoming angry. Empathize with their feelings and concerns without reacting or jumping to conclusions. Only God knows the whole story involved.
James 1:19-20 "Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God."
2. Pray for your concerned citizen, invoking God's presence and help in the situation. Welcome them to participate, but pray for them regardless of their willingness to do so.
Philippians 4:6 " Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."
3. Pray for any involved in the situation. This includes any law enforcement officers and/or court officials implicated by your concerned citizen. Once again, invite them to participate with you in prayer, but pray regardless.
Luke 6:27-28 "But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you"
4. Offer to support, assist and accompany them if they desire to further address the concern. This includes, but is not limited to, assisting with the process of filing a formal complaint, both by your presence and advocacy.
5. Follow recommended guidelines for the safety of all involved by ministering in groups of two support advocates, and only meeting with your concerned citizen in a public place (church, park, library, restaurant, etc).
Luke 10:1 "After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go."
To join you must be in agreement and willing to abide by the aforementioned.
Contact Heather Burks at: [email protected] with your name and information and a confirmation of your agreement with the principles and focus of this outreach.
Ministers of Reconciliation makes no assurances of what your ministry experience may include, nor the results thereof. Each minister is an unpaid volunteer who decides of their own choice to participate in ministering to concerned citizens as they navigate suspected issues of law enforcement bias or mistreatment. Pertaining to this understanding, Ministers of Reconciliation is not liable.
If you agree and understand this, you may indicate in your email: "I understand and accept the responsibility of my decision to participate."

Bid Me Come: A Christian's Walk In Faith
AVAILABLE ON AMAZON and KINDLE
Are you out of the boat yet? It is so easy to allow fear to cause you to remain stuck in one spot on your faith journey; to not be willing to face the difficult question of: What do I really believe about God?
Bid Me Come is written to give you a glimpse into Peter’s encounter with Jesus Christ on the waters of the Sea of Galilee, while at the same time inviting and encouraging you to see, examine and step forward in your own walk of faith. What do you do when you are called out of the boat...
or better yet...what do you believe?
The Psalmist writes to the Lord:
“What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” Psalm 56:3
