Support those who’ve lost their homes
Enjoy an uplifting afternoon of global music, international dance, and inspiring words! This event brings the generous Bay Area community together to support individuals, families, and communities that are recovering from the devastating Eaton fires that occurred on January 7th.
Hear firsthand updates from Pastor Andy Olsen (Immanuel Lutheran Church) about the ministry that's unfolding as they disburse checks to those in need. Meet Edward, an Armenian father whose family lost their home of 17 years, yet holds onto hope. Learn about the crucial work of the Clergy Community Coalition to stabilize the community long-term through connecting 100+ churches in their area to many others who share a vision to rebuild 1000+ of the 6000 homes that were burned down. Consider 40+ black families that have lost homes encountered by Brandon Lamar (NAACP, Project Passion).

This humble, grassroots effort was brought together through the quiet work of many generous volunteers. Anyone is welcome to support the host space (FCC Oakland) and Tina's work with DeoWorks, a non-profit dedicated to igniting people and their talents to bring about the peaceable kingdom of Christ here on planet Earth.
