Quotes

I remember clearly in my heart God saying, “I brought you here to be a bridge.”

We need to listen, not to respond, but really listen.

Meet people that don’t look like you and listen to them and share with them. That’s where it begins.

It’s hard to have those conversation when everyone looks like you and thinks like you.

Developing a heart for it starts in prayer. Nothing that we do is going to happen apart from prayer.

Our humanity shows us the value God has for diversity. We are all created in his image. What if we viewed each other in that way?

Racism is sin and we have to call it what it is.

It’s stealing God’s glory because it’s not showing how and who God is.

What if we all started looking at each other as image bearers.

We want to do our best while we’re here.

We have more alike than differences.

Scripture

I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—  I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. John 17:22-23

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. Revelation 7:9
