October 2027 event details to be announced.
Prayer Procession
International African Museum
14 Wharfside Street
The Prayer Procession brought together men and women of faith from different backgrounds and denominations to pray for Charleston, gather in unity, celebrate what God has done, and seek the Lord’s blessing on our city.
Revival
St. John’s Reformed Episcopal Church
91 Anson Street
The revival at St. John’s Reformed Episcopal Church continued with prayer, liturgical dance, and singing as participants sought unity, healing, and peace.
We fellowship, we break bread, we sing, and we dance. We gather in one accord for remembrance, forgiveness, repentance, reconciliation, unity, and revival.
Blow the trumpet in Zion; consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people.
Joel 2. 15-16
Cry out in prayer
for unity & peace
We believe God is calling all people of faith to demonstrate His love by pushing back against hatred and division. If we humbly cry out to Him in prayer, turn from sin, and forgive one another, He will hear us and heal our city, bringing unity and peace to Charleston for His glory.
If we respond to this calling in obedience, we will see healing like we’ve never seen before and revival beyond anything we can ask or imagine.
The solution is simple, yet the task before us will be difficult.
One New Humanity Vision
We exist to proclaim and pursue the Lord’s work of bringing repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and unity to His people, for the manifestation of His glory in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Repentance
We turn from sins of racism and resentment deeply rooted in our communities, churches and families.
Forgiveness
While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, so now we too can forgive those who have sinned against us.
Reconciliation
While forgiveness doesn’t erase the past, it allows our wounds to heal so we can move forward as one.
Unity
We will experience unity when we repent of our sins, ask for forgiveness, and heal our wounds through reconciliation.
For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility…that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace.
Ephesians 2:14-15

Our Story
Sunday, May 30, 2020, during protests against racial injustice, two church leaders from different backgrounds and denominations, yet one faith, came together with their congregations to preach a “sermon duet” about reconciliation. They asked what we can do in Charleston to heal the racial divide in the city. There was a deep cry for peace and unity, but how?
Through a series of meetings seeking God’s direction and engaging in honest discussion, One New Humanity Charleston was formed. The Prayer Procession and Solemn Assembly became a launching point for the organization, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds to pray for healing, peace, and unity through repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
Charleston may have a shameful past, but it has also seen revival before. We believe our best days are ahead. While some seek to divide, we will unite. We will answer hatred with love and compassion. We work toward reconciliation, not retribution. Forgiveness is the greatest gift we have ever received, and it is how the wounds of our history will be healed. If we humble ourselves and repent, then ask God for forgiveness, He will heal our land and bring revival again!

Prayer Team Mission
We pray for repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation in our cities, states, and nation—to break down the walls that divide us and unify us as one family. Our primary goal is to pray for the success of the ONHC Foundation, its board members and volunteers, and to support revivals and other community activities. We also pray for specific requests from our founder, Anthony B. Thompson; Prayer Team members; national tragedies; and partnerships that support repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation in our cities, states, and nation.
