A clearer understanding of God’s love will increase our capacity to love ourselves\, those with whom we live\, and our neighbors.

SUMMARY:Race & Christian Community Initiative Cohorts 2020: Learning Communities for White Evangelicals
DESCRIPTION:Race & Christian Community Initiative cohorts are communities where Christians can learn about racism from a biblical perspective and develop the capacity to respond to it as an outworking of their faith. RCCI cohorts for fall 2020 are designed for White leaders shaped by the evangelical tradition\, and aim to create a space where they can come together to learn and do the self-work needed to engage issues related to race more effectively. RCCI understands leadership broadly and welcomes formal and informal leadership alike.  \nCohorts are six-month commitments through which people examine and respond to the ways racism impacts ourselves\, our society\, our Christian communities\, and faith. They are run in a seminar-style format for small groups of 6-8 people and utilize various methods\, including engaging books and media\, guest speakers\, discussion\, spiritual disciplines\, creative exercises\, and field trips. Cohorts value experiential and peer learning and aim to get beyond an intellectual understanding of race by engaging the whole person in mind\, body\, emotions\, and spirit. \nAt the end of each cohort\, participants go through an individual and communal discernment process regarding how they can take actions to contribute to the dismantling of racism in their sphere of influence. All alumni are also invited into RCCI’s support and accountability groups to receive ongoing resources to move from knowing and caring to action. \nRCCI will be offering two online\, inter-ministry cohorts for White people starting in mid-Oct. 2020. One group will be held on Tuesday evenings and another will be held on Thursday evenings from 6:30pm – 8:30pm. These cohorts are offered at no financial cost to participants. \nVisit www.egc.org/racecohort to learn more or apply. \nIf you are interested in having RCCI offer a customized cohort experience to your organization’s leadership team\, email mlietz@egc.org. \nWe are also visioning and building so we can offer cohorts for people of color in the future.

DESCRIPTION:Refugee-led Covid-19 Campaign  Click on this link  \n\n\n\nZiah Mission Baptist Church \n30 Gordon Street \nAllston\, MA 02134 \nMay 28\, 2019 \n\nDear Brothers and Sisters: \n         Greetings and best wishes. I thank God for healing my family infected by Covid-19. I thank God for the brother and sister who saved our lives by providing an apartment where my children were sheltered safely from the deadly virus spreading in our over crowded apartment.  I write to appeal for assistance for our Deacon’s Fund as we face serious financial challenges during the Coronavirus Pandemic. \n\n\n\nOver 6000 Liberian Refugee families denied permits to work have been unemployed for decades \n\n\nLiberians were unjustifiably denied permits to work by the US Government\, an ongoing effect of racist acts of Congress that removed and banished Native Americans and African Americans from the USA on March 3\, 1819 and the Indian Removal Act of 1830. \n\n\nLooming deadline for filing for a green card under the new Liberian Refugee Fairness Act is December 19\, 2020. \n\n\nWhooping $1500 filing fees for green cards imposed on unemployed Liberian Refugees. A letter from you and your contacts is needed. \n\n\nAssistance with burial costs of a dead unemployed member of our church. \n\n\n\nHow You May help: \n\n\n Share our pain by writing to your member of Congress requesting compassion and coronavirus relief of a blanket waiver of immigration filing fees for all unemployed Liberian beneficiaries of the Liberian Refugee Fairness Act. (A draft letter is attached) Refugees are exempt from immigration filing fees. \n\n\nFinancial assistance to buttress our Deacon’s Fund in assisting to defray burial costs or other pressing family emergencies. An unemployed member just died. \n\n\nCOMPASSION in the Name of Jesus: “I was a stranger…” \nDEEP ROOTS OF AMERICAN RACISM ONGOING RAVAGING OF LIVES IN IMPOVERISHED INDIAN RESERVATIONS AND IN THE AMERICAN COLONY OF LIBERIA AND AMONG 6000 LIBERIAN REFUGEE FAMILIES ACROSS AMERICA FOR THE PAST 30 YEARS…UNDER THE RADAR! \nHere is how I know America’s racist system is rotten to the core\, corrupt and broken by design and needs to be replaced with a more humane system. \nOn March 26\, 1790 the racist US Congress passed the original United States Naturalization Law\, restricting citizenship only to “…white persons of good character…”. It may not be on the books today but descendants of African Americans and Native Americans banished into Indian Reservations and the American Colony of Black Americans in Liberia are still shut out of America\, still suffering the consequences of racist acts of Congress while racism thrives in America. \nLater\, on March 3\, 1819\, the racist US Congress passed a law that made the removal\,  colonization and banishment of all free Black Americans possible\, in partnership with ruthless American Slaveholders of the American Colonization Society (ACS). 80% of the first batch of American emigrants of color removed and colonized in Africa died of malaria. White men were imported to govern the banished African Americans Colonized in Liberia for two decades because Blacks were considered inferior and incapable of self-government. Congress has been complicit in ongoing tortures\, massacres\, rapes and corruption in Liberia\, conveniently out of sight of American Media. \nLastly\, on May 28\, 1830\, President Andrew Jackson signed into law a bill passed by the racist US Congress to remove and banish Native Americans who have lived in America for thousands of years because their color disqualified them from being Americans. Thousands of Native Americans died along the Trail of Tears during the removal-an ongoing crime against humanity! \nA member of the ACS\, President Andrew Jackson championed another disastrous removal of Americans- The Indian Removal ACt of 1830. Some 100\,000 tribesmen were forced to march westward under U.S. military coercion in the 1830s; up to 25 percent of the Indians\, many in manacles\, perished en route.  “By persuasion and force they have been made to retire from river to river and from mountain to mountain\, until some of the tribes have become extinct and others have left but remnants to preserve for a while their once terrible names. Surrounded by the whites with their arts of civilization\, which by destroying the resources of the salvage doom him to weakness and decay.”  Wrote President Andrew Jackson. \nThe 2nd annual report of the American Colonization Society clarified why African Americans were colonized using American Taxpayers money: “...as is most confidently believed\, the colonization of the free people of colour\, will render the slave who remains in America more obedient\, more faithful\, more honest\, and\, consequently\, more useful to his master\, is it proper to regard this happy consequence to both\, as the sole object which the Society hope to attain…” \nTo him or her whom much is given\, much shall be required. Please help the victims of war and racism by participating in both short term and long term solutions to unemployed refugees in their struggles. Please join us by sharing with your contacts. Thanks and may God bless you. \nSincerely Yours\, \nPastor Torli H. Krua / ZIAH MISSION BAPTIST CHURCH/ 857-249-9983

SUMMARY:EGC Virtual Silent Auction
DESCRIPTION:Strengthening Christian leaders to serve urban communities is the heart of Emmanuel Gospel Center’s mission. During the past few months\, Dorchester\, Mattapan\, and other communities of color have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19\, and urban Christian leaders continue to be at the center of responding. The recent murder of George Floyd and other Black brothers and sisters\, and the protests following their deaths\, have brought into sharp focus the need for racial justice and community action. This year\, EGC’s silent auction is supporting three ministry partners doing this important work: Agencia ALPHA\, The Black Ministerial Alliance\, and The Massachusetts Council of Churches. \nFor more information\, click here.

SUMMARY:Fundraiser for BHCHP
DESCRIPTION:A team from Park Street Church has been trying to support a local healthcare program for the homeless in their support for the homeless population especially during this season of COVID-19.  In meeting their needs\, we also hope to find ways to gently share the gospel of Christ to both the staff and the homeless individuals and families.  One such need is raising funds to continue serving the homeless.  We have a facebook group going to help us both sell and buy items in which all funds raised will go towards supporting this organization.  This is an ongoing event.  If you are interested in joining us and participating in any way\, please contact me at ahava137@gmail.com.  Thanks!

SUMMARY:Postponed - EGC Annual Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:I was looking forward to hosting EGC’s urban ministry party and fundraiser at Florian Hall on April 4th\, but as you know\, the party is one of many events that has been cancelled due to the current Coronavirus crisis.\n\nThis is an extraordinary time\, and we are all working (many from home\, some from the frontlines) to understand how to address the challenges that are before us. For EGC\, this means our team has begun reaching out to church and Christian leaders to listen to their concerns\, connect them to resources\, and discern how we can work together for fruitful\, aligned engagement.  Our prayer is that churches and leaders will respond well to support each other and love and serve those who are in need around us\, especially those who are most vulnerable. Instead of hosting an in-person or virtual event on April 4th\, I hope that we will be able to invite you to an Open House in our new space in June\, and that we can do our silent auction then as well. In the meantime\, I pray that the Lord will bless you\, keep you\, and lead you.
