We are a Family of Christian Believers of Diverse Cultures, Nationalities, Races, and Religious Denominational Backgrounds United To Serve the Cause of Christ to Spread the Gospel Message Globally.

 

Loving The Nations, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in Fredericksburg, Virginia, was founded by retired Lieutenant Colonel Temaki Carr, D. Min. in January 2015. Our mission is to mobilize, equip, and unite the Body of Christ to sow the Seeds of the Gospel through evangelism, missions, educational, and humanitarian initiatives both locally and throughout the world.

Our work began in 2015, when Dr. Carr organized the disjointed Christian community in Benelux, Belgium to support Nepal after a devastating earthquake. We partnered with Nepalese ministries, Belgian Christian communities, and U.S. Christian communities to provide humanitarian relief through an operation called “Two Fish and Five Loaves of Bread.” Beyond providing necessary relief for Nepal, this initiative fortified the Christian communities we worked with in all three countries. 

In 2016, we then supported Brussels and Mons, Belgium in the recovery of the terrorist bombing during the Holy Week celebration, assisting with the recovery of victims, scouring hospitals to help find lost family members, and coordinating food trains for victims and their loved ones. From 2016 to 2019, Loving the Nations focused on fostering socio-economic independence among women and youth in Muslim communities in Northern Ghana and Pakistan through literacy education and job skills training. What unites these varying efforts is a vision for Christian communities to work together and be present in the crisis of the everyday in order to show people real love. 

By 2020, amid rising cultural and racial tensions and a global pandemic, Loving The Nations turned its focus to racial reconciliation within the United States. Seeing the community of Faith largely uninvolved and absent amidst these crises, we hosted numerous faith-based reconciliation panels and educational initiatives as well as organized numerous successful multi-cultural, -racial, -denominational, and -church Community of Faith Prayer walks in the Rappahannock, VA region, as opposed to protests. Loving the Nations led local church leaders to found two influential faith-based community minded action organizations to aid racial reconciliation and social justice in Virginia.

Following the 2021 domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. capitol, Loving The Nations hosted a virtual prayer session at the Capitol building to uplift Christ and promote reconciliation. In August 2021, Loving The Nations launched three bold initiatives to provide disaster and humanitarian relief to people of Haiti for earthquake relief, the people of Louisiana for hurricane relief, and the refugees of Afghanistan to assist in relocation efforts.

Rather than remaining socially and politically divided, apathetic, or unengaged, the Christian community should be united and lead the change for social, economic and racial justice. Our diverse humanitarian and human rights advocacy projects across the world demonstrate the love of Christ and provide an avenue for sharing the Gospel.
