Racial Justice
Proverbs 31: 1-9 TPT
But you are to be a king who speaks up on behalf of the disenfranchised and pleads for the legal rights of the defenceless and those who are dying. Be a righteous king, judging on behalf of the poor and interceding for those most in need.
Working to see racial equality become a reality.
We do this through raising awareness, hosting training initiatives and partnering with organisations that are working to end racial inequality not only around the world but our own back yard too.
