Propitiation addresses the wrath of God. It is the work of Christ saving us from God’s wrath by absorbing it in His own person as our substitute. Expiation, which basically means “removal,” accompanies propitiation and speaks of the work of Christ in removing or putting away our sin. Such is the symbolism of the two goats used on the Day of Atonement. The first goat represented Christ’s work of propitiation as it was killed and its blood sprinkled on the mercy seat. The second goat represented Christ’s work of expiation in removing or blotting out the sins that were against us. The object of propitiation is the wrath of God. The object of expiation is the sin, which must be removed from His presence.

Dear Friends, Family, and In-Pact Partners:

For the first time ever, we send greetings from Detroit, Michigan, where we will spend the next three months ministering as part of the Eleos Detroit team as they prepare to open a Christian coffee shop later this Fall in the blighted eastern portion of the city.

Exciting things have already begun to transpire, and our attached LUMglobal letter describes a small part of it.

We cherish and earnestly need your constant prayer support as we minister here.  While this letter didn't have space to list specific prayer requests, we know you will discern specific things for which to pray.  Of special need at this time, as you will see in the letter, is for increased financial support for the entire team.  The other team members have begun this ministry even though their ministry needs are not yet fully funded.  Unexpected expenses in furnishing our apartment and doing some things on the house itself have already taken a significant portion of our ministry's three-month budget.  This is something that will have to be made up in coming weeks.  So, thank you in advance for praying.

In His Bond, By His Grace, and For His Kingdom,

Bob and Jo Ann
The Tollivers
