LTR Ministries is committed to educating white christians about the biblical, historical, and societal impacts of race and racism in America. We have a 5 week class called Let's Talk Race: a Beginner's Guide to Conversations about Race that walks participants, week by week through things like:
We provide a grace-filled, gospel-centered, safe place for white people to explore, ask questions, learn and grow. We have learned through the years that many white christians really want to be meaningful partners in these conversations, but they do not engage because they are afraid they will say something wrong and hurt someone's feelings. This means that nothing actually changes because we are not having these very important conversations. We also curate a list of resources for participants that allow participants to continue learning after the class is completed..
In addition to the class, we work with churches to establish long term sustainable strategies and lay led ministries to lead church congregations down the journey of racial reconciliation and justice.
Educating and encouraging white Christians to engage in the ministry of reconciliation and justice.
We are in the process of adding to our repertoire of class offerings. Specifically we would like to add a class about how to have hard conversations. Our nation has become so polarized that it's difficult to even have conversations about hard topics. We'd like to engage some experts to create content that could be a next step after the Let's Talk Race class.
We believe all people are created in the image of God and because of this, we are committed to helping each other see everyone as an image bearer and respond accordingly. We are looking forward to Revelation 7:9, when every nation, tribe, tongue and people will worship together before the throne.
