Even Google was a full two years away. Nobody could have predicted this thing called social media.

"Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong!" they shouted.

Thankfully, FRC has been on the front lines, providing direction and structure to help churches and other organizations really begin to have a serious and effective impact. The structure is the development of the Community Impact initiative, and it's making a difference.
