As 2024 Draws to a Close…
What a year it has been for Catalyst! This year, we were blessed to witness growth, impact, and transformation in countless ways. From the inaugural Flourishing Together Cohort to our soul-stirring Sankofa Journeys and the thought-provoking Cultural Agility Workshops, 2024 has been a year of learning, reflection, and bridge-building.
Each of these initiatives has embodied our mission of fostering racial harmony, creating spaces for authentic dialogue, and equipping individuals and communities to thrive together. Let’s take a moment to reflect on some of the highlights of this incredible year:
• Flourishing Together Cohort Launch: This groundbreaking cohort brought together diverse voices. We’re delving into a variety of content, hearing from local faith leaders, and cultivating hour to disciple followers of Jesus in our congregations.
• Sankofa Journeys: From powerful moments at the Legacy Museum to crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge, participants were moved, challenged, and forever changed as they engaged and experienced our nation’s history of racism and segregation.
• Cultural Agility Workshops: These sessions opened eyes to the unseen lenses of culture, equipping attendees with the tools to lead and connect with greater empathy.
Behind each of these events and initiatives are the incredible people who have walked alongside us—whether attending a workshop, participating in a journey, donating to the mission, or simply sharing a word of encouragement. For you, we are deeply grateful.
Looking Ahead to 2025…
As we prepare to step into the new year, our vision grows stronger and clearer. Here’s what’s coming up in 2025:
• Upcoming Sankofa Journeys: Mark your calendars! Next year’s journeys will take place on February 25–March 1 and May 27–June 1. These trips promise to offer even deeper moments of reflection, learning, and connection.
• Flourishing Together’s Next Chapter: Building on this year’s success, we’re excited to expand this initiative and empower even more leaders to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.
• More Cultural Agility Workshops: We’ll continue to host workshops to help individuals and teams navigate cultural complexities and thrive in intercultural environments. Including at the start of the year in Raleigh, NC!
