RAWtools, Inc. is on a mission to disarm hearts and forge peace. Their vision to accomplish this mission is to repurpose weapons into hand tools to create something new, preventing the weapons use of violence and creating a cycle of peace.

On Sunday, June 3, 2018 we welcomed RAWtools, Inc. to Emmaus Road Church to help us explore our call to be peacemakers and what it means to follow the nonviolent witness of Christ in our world. It was a beautiful morning of conversation, honest questions, and forging a firearm (donated by a member of our church) into a garden tool. Below is a video that recaps some of the highlights of the morning.

After donating his gun, Ryan (a member of our community), shared a beautiful testimony about moving from fear to freedom that has been turned into an article here.
