Athletes in Action: Urban Project Los Angeles

At UP-LA nearly 50 staff and students live together in community in one huge house for three life-changing weeks. Lives, meals, joys, sorrows, laughs, cries, and plenty of late night conversations and hysterics are shared as we seek to learn and to love. UP-LA also focuses on tackling the issues of culture, racism, class, power, poverty, privilege, responsibility, and social justice, and what the Gospel of Christ has to say about these ever-relevant and important issues. Using the book With Justice for All by Dr. John Perkins as a framework for exploring these critical issues, the book distills a Biblical framework, based off of Jesus’ life and ministry, for bringing justice and healthy, holistic development to a community. The Three R’s of community development that Dr. Perkins explains, and has lived out for decades, are Relocation, Reconciliation, and Redistribution. At the Urban Project, our desire is to see students catch a vision of how they can be agents of grace and healing when they return to their respective communities, campuses, and contexts.
