The Bible teaches us that children of God are all equal in Christ: “Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all” (Colossians 3:11). Yet even today, 2000 years later, we are sometimes divided by race and ethnic differences. It need not be so.
The Jonathan David Fellowship (JDF) at Mel Trotter Ministries offers unique cross-cultural networking and mentoring opportunities centered around the theme of racial reconciliation within a strong Biblical context. Members meet once a month before work to enjoy stimulating conversation and prayer as we build new friendships across the racial divide.
If you’re interested in experiencing this special Fellowship first hand, we invite you to attend an upcoming meeting at the Mel Trotter headquarters in downtown Grand Rapids. To learn more, please call (616) 454-8249 ext 227 or click here to send an e-mail request to our Fellowship Coordinator.
“I think the only way to create racial reconciliation is for blacks and whites to get to know each other personally one on one….The Jonathan David Fellowship gives us the chance to fellowship in the Lord –
to share concerns and remind each other of how we should act as Christians.”
-- Grand Rapids Attorney and JDF Member
“Grand Rapids needs Christian business and professional leaders who ‘get it’ when it comes to dealing with race relations. The Jonathan David Fellowship has been a blessing to me.”
-- College Professor and JDF Member
“The Jonathan David Fellowship has helped me understand the depth of racism in my own heart and to pursue healing in the context of Christian brotherhood….These types of meetings help business people focus on more important issues than prosperity or success.”
