Dr. Anderson Appointed As USCIRF Commissioner

Dearest Bridgeway,

I am humbled and deeply grateful to share that I have been appointed to serve as a commissioner on the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF).

This is an extraordinary honor and an opportunity to help protect people around the world who face persecution because of their faith or beliefs. I see this responsibility as an extension of the mission God has already entrusted to me: building bridges across divides, standing with the downtrodden, and bringing grace and Gracism into places marked by division, injustice, and pain.

While this appointment will expand the reach of that work, it does not change my primary calling. Serving as the senior pastor of Bridgeway Community Church remains my first ministry responsibility and one of the greatest privileges of my life. Bridgeway is my church family and the foundation from which so much of this work has grown.

Whether through Bridgeway, Real Talk, Gracism Global, or now USCIRF, my desire remains the same: to love the Lord, love people, and to serve with wisdom, courage, and grace.

Thank you for your prayers, encouragement, and faithful partnership. I receive this appointment not simply as an individual honor, but as another opportunity for us to carry the work of Bridgeway and bridge-building into a divided and hurting world.

Best of Grace,

Dr. David Anderson
