Mission Statement
We believe the key to race relations is relationship. We are Jesus followers, Kingdom Brothers, and citizens of Heaven. However, we take seriously the temporary citizenship of Greensboro and the Triad, and wish to bring peace, unity, fellowship, love, and kindness to our community. Again, we aim to do this through prayer in the building of meaningful friendships.
How we started
Many years ago, a small group of black and white men began meeting to pray together and build friendships. Then, in 2016, when racial tensions reached a fever pitch in the US with shootings, protests, and chaos, we invited other men to join in and pray and build white/black friendships. We have now been gathering for several years praying for our city, praying for unity, praying for one another, and building deep friendships as Kingdom Brothers! We consistently pray for our city and country leaders, our school leaders and teachers, our police force and first responders, our pastors, and lay leaders of the many churches in our city. We pray against evil forces, crime, racism, sex trafficking, gang violence, abortion, hunger, homelessness, and other evils we see in our city.
Over the years, we've had a number of conversations, some friends and I had, about the divide in our community. There's a divide in the church. What can we do the bridge that divide? So often and in many communities, blacks live on one side, white another, so we never really get to know one another… We have to have those hard conversations to avoid those hard situations. And until we do that, it's going to always be like we're trying, but we never arrive.
