Karen LorittsSpeaker and Author, Beyond Our Generation

“I am convinced these courses should be mandatory curriculums in all educational systems, public and private. As an African American woman my earnest prayer is that the conversation be elevated beyond verbiage but to heart transformation. ORM is poised to widen its reach beyond the pews to the courthouse, work desks, and the kitchen table. They have a clear assignment from the LORD.”

Dave BagwellPastor, Passion City

“OneRace is doing radical work across our city by touching the hearts of men and women here in Atlanta. I have seen this firsthand! Many of the problems we are we facing in today’s culture are not just interpersonal and societal issues, but are issues of the heart. OneRace has provided me with practical tools and experiences to take inventory and address my own thoughts and feelings that need to change. Their approach from a biblical point of view gives me truth I can stand on when seemingly everyone has an opinion and the issues are complex and nuanced. Their work is more than a noteworthy cause, more than a set of values, more than an a solution to a problem, they are showing us a way to live out the gospel in our lives everyday!”

Oshebar L. HardmanVice-President of Outreach, AND Campaign, Inc.

“Let me just start out by saying thank you to you and the OneRace team for putting on an excellent event. The Jesus+Justice event was spectacular and our team really enjoyed themselves. Thank you for the hospitality rendered to us throughout the entire time at Piedmont park. Everything was well coordinated and it showed that you all were meticulous in your planning. We also are so appreciative to the gracious and generous contribution made to the organization. It is through your generosity that we are able to continue our organizational and ministry endeavors. Please let us know any time there is an opportunity to further partner with OneRace.”

Steve WoodLead Pastor, Mount Pisgah Church.

“Our team thoroughly enjoyed the OneRace One Day Staff Training. Racial reconciliation is a felt need that requires truthful and compassionate conversation for us to Know, Own, and Change the story. The presentations by Josh, Dan, and Lakesha were inspiring, informative, and challenging and the group discussions were a wonderful foundation forward for us to continue the conversation. I highly recommend this Christ-centered, Bible-based workshop for every local congregation who desires transformation and racial healing as we move into a new era of love, mercy, and justice.”

Justin GiboneyCo-Founder & President, AND Campaign

“OneRace is encouraging the Church to have a much needed conversation about race. It's a conversation that's honest and tough, but also aspirational and Gospel-centered. With its prayer-oriented framework, the organization has brought thousands of Christians together to face our divisions and map out a path toward conciliation. I'm thankful for OneRace's work and witness.”

Don BrawleyLead Pastor, Impact Church

“Although I hold a BA in History I learned so much more about the plight of black people in the US during this two-day immersion than I ever did in college. I highly recommend this experience to all Christians who desire to see reconciliation, and am confident you will be moved to do the same.”

Courtney WrightChief Pastor Officer, Christian Alliance of Pastors

“The experience was humbling and awe-inspiring. Walking the paths of those who suffered such injustices left me speechless. I felt a deep connection with them, knowing their path was used by God for a greater purpose. I am grateful for the partnership between OneRace and the Christian Alliance of Pastors.”

John ShacklefordExecutive Director, Eagles Ranch

“Throughout the two days, we were lovingly shepherded by the One Race staff and leadership as we personally and collectively made movements toward confession, repentance, and love in action. I hope to participate in this Experience again in the coming years. I have much more to learn!”

“

Courtney HarknessLead Pastor, Cumberland Community Church

“I recommend this trip to anyone serious about the work of racial reconciliation. The experience invites us to take history and connect it to present reality, facing the pain of our past to find hope for our future. I found the entire experience to be fully consumed with the business of the gospel.”

“

Sam KangPastor

“It is challenging for pastors to establish a genuine community. When we joined a group, we were unaware of the personal benefits that would come from it. We have been introduced to some authentic faith leaders. We are grateful to have the opportunity to continue to share life with them. Pastor groups are essential and can bring about significant change.”

Bryan ApinisNorthpoint Church: Intersect

“Reconciliation is gospel work. OneRace calls us to that in Racial Reconciliation 101. Through thoughtful communicators, rich content, and substantive conversations you and your classmates will grow in your understanding of what it means to know, own and change the story. I know I did. The course encouraged and equipped me for the good and hard work to be done in and around me.”

“

Schelli CronkChief Operating Officer, Transform Minnesota

“We were privileged to work with OneRace through multiple intersections. Josh Clemons and Dan Crain teach with grace, rooted solidly in the Word of God. They always point to the hope of healing that can come from knowledge, unity in Jesus, and a transformation that can come from Him. I believe the learning and relationships built will lead to radical change in our lives individually and in the Church, and that will lead to a greater impact on our cities and communities.”

“

Elizabeth RobertsonAttorney and OneRace Advisor

“The solid biblical teaching and historical insights I gained from participating in Rec 101 and 201 last year have given me a better understanding of how we got here and, more importantly, the path forward for The Church to change its story. I’m encouraged by the inspired work OneRace is doing to equip church leaders and laypeople alike to embrace racial reconciliation.”

“

Ben TeagueKinstone Communities

“It was an honor and a privilege to deeply reflect and converse with brothers and sisters of different colors while going through the OneRace Reconciliation curriculum. I’m so grateful for the leadership around what biblical reconciliation entails and the vulnerability of fellow believers to walk together through awareness, lament, and the hope of reconciliation. My time with this group has helped me navigate conversations with friends, family, and co-workers.”

“

Walter KimPresident, National Association of Evangelicals

“OneRace focuses on the reconciling and redemptive power of the gospel and provides leadership training about race that includes prayer, relationships, and committed action. Through a combination of thought-provoking exercises, teaching, and conversations, OneRace helps leaders of different ethnicities and backgrounds to learn together in humility and to consider how to move forward together in this messy but beautiful work of God.”
