The 787 Collective Campaigns are initiatives to center young adult leaders in work that supports and celebrates their vocational gifts and yearnings, in ways that enrich the mission of the church.
The purpose of Seekers is to gather people from all walks of life to create a spiritual community / home for those outside of the present church community. Seekers mostly consists of neighbors of the church campus where I pastor and is mostly people that are formerly religious or have no religious background. Day to day we connect through WhatsApp or Facebook messenger about our lives, meet once a month for a spiritual service (time for contemplation, a reading about Love, discussion, sharing about personal life and spiritual wonderings). We also serve by participating in loving action to our community.
Read MoreI work with the interfaith non-profit Texas Impact to connect with people around the world who are serving and doing mission work. I find, hear, and document their stories about how climate change is affecting their service and communities, and how we can help support them through our own actions. Day to day you can find me researching different intersections of climate change, and looking at different denominations, faith organizations, and spiritual leaders who are talking about the climate crisis and taking action in their own communities. With these new connections, Texas Impact and I then put together blogs and webinars to talk with these leaders to share their stories, climate impacts, and the importance of how we can take action and help.

Recently, we concluded our 787 Collective project and are currently in the process of documenting our efforts through a short film. This film aims to showcase the positive impact of young adult leadership and faith, highlighting the good news emerging from the borderlands.

“it is a great model of partnership for congregations to build with young adults without having the congregation’s agenda overpower the young adult’s voice. “

“It’s been cool coming into a new network of people. This project definitely has lead to my growth in education about the climate crisis. It has given me time to learn and reach out and hear stories of wonderful people who I would have never gotten to connect with.”
