ONE NATION Int er-cult ural Training for Christ ian Leaders

MESSAGE Welcome to ONE NATION! In John 17 Jesus prayed that we would be one as He and the Father are one. Unity within the Body of Christ signifies God is real. The greatest hindrance to this has been racial division. ONE NATION desires to create meaningful opportunities to eliminate the racial barriers that divide people - even God's people. The reasons that divide us are complex and the necessary work to build bridges of understanding are no less difficult. However, our belief is the Christian Church is the most influential organization in the world. If properly equipped with the qualified knowledge and skill to drive meaningful inter-cultural engagement, systemic and institutional reconciliation is possible. Will you join us? Let's move passed rhetoric and get involved with a Christ-centered movement that can make an indelible difference on our homes and communities. Together we can truly be ONE NATION under God! Sincerely, Anthony E. Jones and the ONE NATION Team
