Read the full story: Voice of America

Supporters in 30 states will be trained on nonviolent direct actions, taking cues from the “Moral Monday”’ movement.

Embracing the power of story

Our next Storytelling Project
under the new topic of
“Welcoming the Stranger”
is a story about the
Lost Boys of Sudan and St. John's Baptist Charlotte.
Almost two decades ago, this church embraced the refugees who resettled in their neighborhood fulfilling their mission to be a servant church. In turn, they received love and life lessons from their Dinka friends and now celebrate the launch of a new Sudanese church on their campus.

Decades of life with the ‘Lost Boys’ from South Sudan: Charlotte church loves their neighbors as themselves
