Special Thanks to These Partners and Donors for Making Movement Day Greater Dallas 2015 Possible

Dear Co-laborers and Friends,
On January 22, 2015, the second annual Movement Day
Greater Dallas conference was held at the Kay Bailey
Hutchison Convention Center attracting over 2,000 leaders
and recording the highest attendance of any Movement Day
gathering to date. The movement that began over a year
ago continues to expand its influence and build momentum
while representing diverse constituencies under this year’s
theme of unity.
The day provided a testimony to our opportunity to join
hands in bringing down racial barriers, addressing poverty,
loving the poor, serving our fellow citizens, and transforming our cities with
the Gospel. It represented a visual actualization of our overarching theme
(unity) and our process of working together.
I want to thank you for your participation in this gospel movement. Please
continue to spread the good news about what God is doing through
Movement Day. Something special and dynamic is taking place through each
of us who have committed to work together. We hope that you will continue
to support our transformational work throughout the year and gather
together again early in 2016. Through our united prayers, faith, and work,
our cities are improving, and our Lord is being magnified. I love you all.
With confidence in Him,
Jon Edmonds, Executive Director

MDGD Facts
Movement Day: Greater Dallas
The American context:
•
The number of Americans who say they have “no religion” has nearly
doubled since 1990 to more than 15%. The number who call themselves “atheist” or “agnostic” has quadrupled and is now almost twice the number of Episcopalians in our country.
•
The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life recently released their “U.S.
Religious Landscape Survey.” Among its findings: More than one-quarter of
American adults (28%) have left the faith in which they were raised in favor of another religion or no religion at all. Among Americans ages 18-29, one
in four say they are not affiliated with any religion.
The Greater Dallas context:
• Education: 42% of third graders in Dallas County are reading at or above grade level. Only 4% of high school seniors read at a 12th grade standard.
Only 1% compete in mathematics at a 12th grade standard.
•
Hunger: The number of North Texans seeking help from food pantries or soup kitchens each week has risen 80 percent since 2006, to 64,600 a week. Nearly half are children. Approximately 20% of Dallas children live with “food insecurity.”
• Financial stability: 29.3% of children in Dallas County, more than 190,000
children total, live in families below the federal income poverty level. Across nine counties of North Texas, the number rises to more than 360,000.
•
Immigration and opportunity: 44% of the residents in DFW are first or
second generation immigrants. The number continues to grow. More than 239 languages are spoken in our city. We have nearly 20,000 international students and the largest refugee population in America.
•
Human trafficking: 25% of all international victims in America are in Texas. There are 6,000 runaways annually in Dallas. One out of three is lured into sex trafficking within 48 hours of leaving home. The average age of entry into sex trafficking is between 12 and 13 years old.
• Vulnerable children—fatherless and orphans: There are as many as 210
million orphans around the world. 60% of the girls become prostitutes and 70% of the boys become hardened criminals.
•
Cycle of incarceration: The Dallas Crime Index indicates that Dallas is in
the fourth percentile for safety. 94% of America’s cities are safer than we
are. 223 crimes are committed in Dallas per square mile; the national
average is 39.

2nd annual mdgd
stretches limits
This year’s MDGD enjoyed a growing number of attendees from diverse
cultures, denominations and ethnicities that were united in their eagerness
to see a gospel movement grow in Greater Dallas. Building upon the success of
2014, activities extended into the evening, providing greater access and
opportunity for area leaders to experience and contribute to the work of gospel
transformation in the city. The evening session was planned and executed by
Initiative, a local millennial missional group and partner of MDGD. Local government was also visible through the support of Dallas mayor
Mike Rawlings. In a special video message, Mayor Rawlings specifically
addressed pastors and church leaders on the need for the initiative by
saying, “We are now the number one city in America in regards to the
percent of our population living at or below the poverty level . . . The power
of togetherness can change our city. I love Dallas, and I know our churches
can make a difference.”
Vision. Currently including New York City and Dallas, the vision behind the
day is to unite every sector of a city’s Christian community to collectively bring
the Gospel to bear on pressing social issues such as education, hunger, human
trafficking, and more. In so doing, these challenges are addressed with greater
effectiveness and sustainability, ultimately resulting in city transformation.
In the afternoon, participants broke into smaller groups based on their chosen
“design track”, receiving specific information, training, and resources to connect
with others and creating goals and strategies to mobilize change within their own
communities. Twelve tracks were offered, including education, hunger, human
trafficking, prison re-entry, immigrant and orphan care, marketplace impact,
public safety chaplain support, leadership, financial stability, and youth leadership.
Key speakers for the day included Dr. Jim Denison, Founder of Denison
Forum on Truth and Culture, Chip Ingram, CEO and Teaching Pastor of Living
on the Edge, Matt Chandler, Lead Pastor of Teaching at The Village Church,
Dr. Jeff Warren, Senior Pastor of Park Cities Baptist Church, Pastor Bryan
Carter of Concord Church, Dr. Mac Pier, founder of Movement Day and
The New York City Leadership Center and Dr. K. Shelette Stewart,
Associate Director of Business Development for Executive Education for
Southern Methodist University Cox School of Business, among others.
“This day is an opportunity to
join hands to bring down racial divides,
to address poverty, to love the poor, to serve
our fellow citizens and transform our cities . . .
This is the season of harvest.”
Jon Edmonds, Executive Director of
Movement Day Greater Dallas
Dr. Jim Denison, Founder of Denison
Forum on Truth and Culture, “The only
solution for the future must be collaborative.
Through the collaborative passion of the body
of Christ, we can meet social needs, which
will earn us the opportunity to respond to
spiritual needs…When God’s people through
God’s power come together, the impossible
can happen.”

Speakers:
Dr. Jim Denison
A 5th Great Awakening is currently taking place within the nations,
and it’s time American Believers joined. The state of the global church
is so substantial and complex that its growth has only taken place
through the collaborative passion of believers. Dallas needs to follow
suit. Joining our passions and working together is the only way we can
create change.
Dr. Mac Pier, Bob Doll &
Dr. Jim Denison
Dallas is one of the most strategic global
cities for the Movement Day outreach
model. Host to the largest urban arts
center in the world, extensive medical
industry, centers for politics and global
transportation, as well as some of the highest concentrations of wealthy
and poor, the opportunity for change through collaborative efforts is truly
extraordinary. Dr. Mac Pier challenged the audience by saying, “Be students
of the greatest needs of the world; then align them with the gifts that God
has given you.”
Chip Ingram
“Are we Christians living as Christians? We cannot export what we do
not have.” Social change can never occur if the people of the church
are not focused first on living the life of a disciple. Using stories and
examples from years of city-wide collaborative efforts, Chip challenged
the audience to focus on internal heart change (giving up prejudices,
loving your neighbor, etc.) in order to come together with others who
are different than us in meaningful, collaborative efforts. “God must work deeply
in me before he can work significantly through me.”

Pastor Bryan Carter and Dr. Jeff Warren
After meeting at last year’s MDGD, Dallas pastors Bryan
Carter and Dr. Jeff Warren have intentionally worked to
form a friendship that crossed racial barriers with many
shared meals, texts, and hangouts in between. This year
the two pastors spoke in tandem to present the idea
that racial reconciliation is indeed a Gospel issue - one
that the modern church must actively pursue in obedience to Christ.
Dr. K. Shelette Stewart
Dr. K. Shelette Stewart challenged the MDGD audience to bravely step
out into the Lord’s calling. Trusting through His abilities alone, change
can take place. It’s because of Christ that “you can be humble and
powerful, youthful and wise, elderly and thriving, blind and a visionary.” Matt Chandler
The Acts 19 account of the birth of the church in Ephesus set the stage
for Chandler’s powerful evening message. Likening the approach of the
first Christ-followers to the potential of Movement Day participants, he
urged the audience to focus on obedience to Christ over all, saying, “The
early church was so focused on Jesus and not themselves, that there was
an outpouring of grace on the city.” He went on to explain that knowing
Christ and loving Him is at the heart behind any flourishing Gospel movement
and must always remain the lifeblood of budding initiatives like Movement Day.
Dallas Mayor Rawlings (video)
In a special video presentation, Dallas mayor Mike Rawlings
expressed his concern over the current disconnect between public
schools and churches in the Greater Dallas area. He went on to
issue a challenge for every church in the city of Dallas to adopt a
school, and develop a partnership that would provide volunteer help,
tutoring, staff support, etc. through purposeful, relational investment
in the lives of rising generations.
Panelists:
Unified Cultures – Brenda Teele, Grant Skeldon, Trey Hill, Sheila Bailey,
Edwin Robinson
“The main reason for our racial divide is history, ignorance and insensitivity,”
said panelist Dr. Sheila Bailey. The panel remained hopeful that this divide will
continue to lessen and emphasized that it’s only through our common belief in
Jesus Christ that our culture can finally unify culture. Panelists also discussed the
importance prayer makes among believers in Dallas as a means of lessening the
divide between racial differences.
Unified Resources – Bob Doll, Todd Moore, Bob Kulick, Bryan Carter,
Raymond Harris
“Giving is not a disease you catch. It is a part of who you are and how you live
out your faith,” remarked Pastor Bryan Carter when asked about the role of
the church in regards to generosity. The panel went on to share personal stories
giving account to God’s faithfulness to individuals and even entire congregations
who have chosen to make regular giving a priority.
Unified Support – Jon Edmonds, Pieter Wasserman, Ronnie Morris,
Edward Smith, Lane Grayson
“The reason I partner with victim relief ministries is because I believe that if
the church would show the love of Christ to the 80% [that don’t go to church]
that’s hurting and suffering, we would earn the right to share the Gospel with
them,” said panelist Pieter Wasserman. The Unified Support panel examined
how Greater Dallas police and firefighters are beginning to include victim relief
in what they do and discussed their belief that police and firefighters should
not just be responsible for saving people but also for caring for those people
after they save them.

speakers and
panelists
continued
Unified Work – Monica Zuniga, Jana Jackson, Mercury Bynum,
Bob Anderson, Rebecca Walls
Oftentimes, strategies for city-wide change must be addressed by individuals
from multiple levels of influence in order to become a reality. “We’ve learned,
for example, that hunger in Dallas is a complex issue, and it really takes us
working across all sectors of the city in order to make an impact,” said panelist
Jana Jackson. Other panel members shared success stories of cross-pollination
among Movement Day design tracks that occurred over the past year,
encouraging the audience to reach across the aisles and do the same.
Unified Faith – Dr. Jim Denison, Grant Skeldon, Edwin Robinson,
Chelsea Vaughn, Onterio Green, Jonathan Pokluda
Panelists discussed the misconceptions of millennials within the church and
constructive ways to work toward multi-generational unification. “Stop begging
millennials to come to church and start calling them to be The Church,” said
panelist Jonathan Pokluda.
Unified Transformation – Jon Pendergrass, Dr. Froswa’ Booker-Drew,
Byron Sanders, Jerry Wagner, Noel Bouche’
Panelists urged churches to deal with racism’s devastating effects both
historically and in present-day contexts by taking bold steps forward in
forging diverse relationships. “[Racial unity] still feels new because we’ve
had conversations about it, but the problem is we haven’t acted on the
conversations that we’ve had,” panelist Jerry Wagner said. Racial reconciliation
and unification in the church will ultimately lead to transformation in families,
communities, and cities.
Matt Chandler, Teaching Pastor of The
Village Church, “I think anytime you can
get people together from different tribes
and different churches who are serious
about the Gospel, the cross-pollination of
networks and ideas acts as the catalyst for
real change to occur.”
Others:
Dr. Froswa’ Booker-Drew Froswa’ masterfully managed the flow on the platform as the event’s emcee
for the second year in a row. As the National Community Engagement
Director -World Vision, US Programs, Froswa’s commitment to the leaders of
Greater Dallas was evident in her encouragement throughout the day.
Bruce Kuhn Movement Day audiences enjoyed several special live performances by Kuhn,
who brought familiar scripture passages – including the book of Philippians – to
life through captivating dramatic interpretations.
Worship was led by Gaye Arbuckle and the Concord Church worship team
for the day. The evening worship was led by recording artist Dara Maclean and
David Terry. Charles Jenkins, Grammy award winning songwriter and pastor, led
in a special time of worship to close the day session.
Dr. Mac Pier, CEO, The New York
City Leadership Center, “The greatest
demographic reality in the world today is
that there are 7,000 people moving into
sizable cities every hour… Movement
Day Greater Dallas is creating a template
for how to replicate a gospel movement
in a city and for a city.”

Bryan Carter, Senior Pastor of Concord
Church, Dallas, TX, “Reconciliation is at the
core of the Gospel. If we don’t care about it
on a spiritual level, how can we care about
it on a racial level? And how can we say we
care about what God cares about? But, who
is responsible for ending racism? Most said
police, schools, and government. God says:
The Church.”

Dr. Froswa’ Booker-Drew, National
Community Engagement Director US
Programs, World Vision, “In order to create
change in communities, it is important for
individuals from diverse backgrounds and
views to come together to discover, learn
and share their experiences. Collaboration
is critical in order to make the necessary
changes for growth.”
Bob Doll, Chief Equity Strategist, Nuveen Asset Management,
“Dallas is globally significant…It hosts the largest urban arts
center in the world, 21 of the top 100 Forbes businesses, a medical
community with 6 Nobel Laureates, a center for politics and global
transportation, and one of the highest concentrations of wealthy
and poor. I challenge the marketplace leaders to regard their
work as a high calling from God and to act to help transform
our workplaces, and in turn, our cities.”
Dr. Jeff Warren, Senior Pastor of Park
Cities Baptist Church, Dallas, TX, “If we do
not know people of color, we cannot say we
love people of color. You cannot love who you
do not know…The core of our identity has
to be Jesus, not our racial label.”

what participants had to say about the day
“I appreciated the cultural awareness that was shared at the plenary sessions.
Sometimes we get so involved in our organization, efforts, and mission that we can
forget to look outside the window of a moving train. There are many opportunities
around us and a shifting culture.”
“Bryan Carter & Jeff Warren were incredible. They gave tangible ways to close the
gap between the racial divide in churches and made growing a real and positive
thing for our city! Being a millennial, I would have loved them to speak in the
evening session and make this construct a talk directed at young people.”
“The group interaction and networking that took place was extremely valuable.”
“We must all work together.”
“Matt Chandler was exceptional, timely and very challenging. As a millennial myself
I thought he was the perfect speaker for the audience and the evening message.
Excellent choice for a speaker anytime though, he is truly gifted by God.”
“I was VERY impressed!”
“How passionate and powerful the delivery of each speaker was, it
was phenomenal.”
“Chip Ingram was so helpful in sharing the nuts and bolts of rreconciliation &
restoration. It gave me much hope it could happen here.”
“My heart was quickened to visit churches that don’t look like I do.”
“It is not very often that the worship at these kind of gatherings proves to be
satisfying, but I truly enjoyed this one.”
“I loved the panels. I thought the questions were good, and I loved hearing different
perspectives.”
“There was a point in Jon Edmonds’ closing remarks last night when I realized
that part of the reason God moved me to Dallas in 1996 is to be involved in
this movement.”
Chip Ingram, Senior Pastor, Venture
Christian Church, Los Gatos, CA, “We’re
not here to glorify a movement. We’re here
to glorify God. We must die to ourselves,
and we must follow Him. Only then can
we begin to make a difference. We can’t
export what we don’t have.”
Dr. K. Shelette Stewart, DirectorExecutive Education, SMU Cox School of
Business, “We are called to serve as God’s
ambassadors on the earth. Movement
Day…is a wonderful opportunity to inform,
inspire, and empower…!”
