Brian and Annie both served as pastors of a small church north of Portland, Oregon. When George Floyd was murdered, they sensed that God's heart for justice was crying out for BIPOC and their experience of wrongful treatment & discrimination. They started on a journey to listen, learn, confess, lament, pray, bear witness & advocate for racial justice for people of color. Brian & Annie no longer pastor, but continue to grow as "Bridge Builders," and as co-chairs with Pastor Damion Young on the local NAACP Religious Affairs committee working to share God's love to the world.
Brian & Annie met Andre Diaz via Instagram during our car rally for Vancouver, WA NAACP. Andre reached out for tips and created a similar event 10 times the size in Michigan. We're so grateful to go from strangers to friends and for his willingness to share his strategic movement from mono-cultural environments to diversity at all levels of leadership.
Check out Andre's podcast, "What It's Like to be White."

Listen in as we read and discuss the first half of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's Letter from a Birmingham Jail.
We love every line. It's convicting, informative and explanatory of his non-violent strategy. So good.
