We exist to hold space for the Ravens of the world.
Who are the Ravens?
Psalm 147:9 —He gives food to the wild animals and feeds the young ravens when they cry.”
To most people, the ravens are not significant to most people. God is intimately involved with His creation. He covers the heavens with clouds and provides rain for the earth. He gives food to all the wild animals. He gives food to the young ravens. Even the ravens are not forgotten by God.
The ravens are one of the most repelled creatures. The ravens represent those who are repelled by the church and considered unworthy of love and acceptance. The ravens are the LGBTQ+ community, the seekers, the marginalized, homeless, those who have experienced trauma. Simply put, they are the outcasts.
God cares for the rejected and unloved and so do we.
The Ravens Collective longs for all people to have a transforming encounter with the resurrected Lord.
