RED LETTER CHRISTIANS

PROGRAM 1: PUBLIC WITNESS & MOVEMENT BUILDING PRIMARY FOCUS: RED LETTER REVIVALS, PUBLIC VIGILS, AND ANTI-CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM INITIATIVES IN A YEAR MARKED BY SIGNIFICANT NATIONAL DIVISION, RED LETTER CHRISTIANS (RLC) SUCCESSFULLY MOBILIZED A BROAD, MULTI-RACIAL COALITION OF FAITH LEADERS TO CHAMPION A VISION OF CHRISTIANITY CENTERED ON JESUS'S TEACHINGS OF PEACE AND JUSTICE. RLC HOSTED THREE 'RED LETTER REVIVALS' IN SANTA ANA, CA, PHILADELPHIA, PA, AND A WEEK-LONG VIRTUAL SERIES. THESE EVENTS REACHED THOUSANDS GLOBALLY AS A DIRECT, NON-PARTISAN COUNTER-NARRATIVE TO CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM. THESE EVENTS WERE CREATED IN COLLABORATION WITH LOCAL ADVISORY COUNCILS COMPRISING PASTORS, ACTIVISTS, AND THOSE DIRECTLY IMPACTED BY INJUSTICE, ENSURING THAT NATIONAL MOVEMENT-BUILDING REMAINED ROOTED IN LOCAL SERVICE. ADDITIONALLY, RLC LED A COLLABORATIVE GOOD FRIDAY VIGIL AND ACTION AT LOCKHEED MARTIN IN KING OF PRUSSIA IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE INTERNATIONAL GAZA CEASEFIRE PILGRIMAGE, PROVIDING A FAITHFUL PUBLIC WITNESS FOR PEACE AND CALLING FOR AN END TO THE PROFITEERING OF WAR BY WEAPONS MANUFACTURERS.

PROGRAM 2: RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT & SPIRITUAL FORMATION PRIMARY FOCUS: DIGITAL CONTENT, DEVOTIONALS, AND WEEKLY COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TO SUSTAIN AND EQUIP THE MOVEMENT LONG TERM, RLC PROVIDED CONSISTENT SPIRITUAL FORMATION AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES TO A GLOBAL AUDIENCE. WE HOSTED 12 VIRTUAL BOOK CLUBS AND 12 MORNING PRAYER EVENTS, INTENTIONALLY AMPLIFYING DIVERSE VOICES FROM THE MARGINS TO LEAD THE CHURCH TOWARD A MORE JUST FUTURE. IN RESPONSE TO THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN THE HOLY LAND, RLC LAUNCHED A SPECIALIZED CHRISTMAS DEVOTIONAL SERIES FOR ADVENT WHICH FEATURED PRIMARILY PALESTINIAN VOICES CALLING FOR AN END TO THE GENOCIDE AND MOBILIZING OUR COMMUNITY TOWARD ADVOCACY AND RELIEF, ALL IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE CHURCH CALENDAR. OUR WEEKLY PODCAST AND REGULAR SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION ALERTS CONTINUED TO SERVE AS A VITAL CONDUIT FOR JUSTICE, EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ON ISSUES OF STATE-SANCTIONED VIOLENCE AND THE BIBLICAL CALL TO ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY.
