EVENT RECAP: WHAT GOD DID LAST WEEK — AND HOW TO STAY PLUGGED IN
Thank you to everyone who came out to Founders × Funders × Faith!
This was a first: seven different faith-based communities in NYC came together — not for credit, ego, or gatekeeping — but to keep Jesus at the center and to demonstrate what happens when we tear down barriers to real collaboration.
We’re so grateful you were part of this moment. And it doesn’t stop here.
Below is a list of all the incredible communities that helped make this event possible. Each of them is actively doing fun, bold, creative work throughout the city. We encourage you to explore, reach out, and get connected — no gatekeeping here.
Because at the end of the day, our goal is simple: we want you to grow closer to Jesus and whichever group God calls you to, that’s between you and Him.
Meet the Co-Host Communities
Christians*inTech - We’re not gatekeepers—we’re gatherers. An open community for believers working in, adjacent to, or curious about the tech world.
FaithTech NYC - A global community of Christ-followers in tech. The NYC chapter hosts fellowships, prayer nights, and events for entrepreneurs, creatives, and technologists.

Special shoutout to our co-hosts and faith-based community builders: Irene Kwok, DK Kim, Sugary Community, and the Outpost Community. Thank you for your support and faithfulness!
Stay tuned for more events and gatherings — and always remember, you’re not alone in this city.
With love and purpose,
The Christians*inTech Team
COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS
GoPrays Clothing: More Than A Brand - A Movement
GoPrays is a local, faith-driven fashion brand founded by two friends united by their shared passion for God and belief in religion's power to heal our divided world. Through thoughtfully designed apparel that celebrates faith across all traditions, GoPrays creates beautiful expressions of devotion that transcend denominational boundaries.
The founders bring a deep conviction that the world becomes a better place when filled with people who believe in something greater than themselves. Whether Protestant, Jewish, Catholic, or any faith tradition, GoPrays recognizes the connection found in believing that God is running the show.
Their mission centers on spreading love, belief, and connection through the universal language of faith, using fashion as a bridge to bring people together in a world too often separated by hate and division. Each piece represents more than clothing—it's a statement of hope, a conversation starter, and a reminder of our shared spiritual heritage.
Christians for Impact: Helping Christians Find Impactful Careers
Christians for Impact is a pioneering non-profit organization that helps Christians discover impactful careers aligned with Kingdom purposes through evidence-based research and biblical wisdom. With over 5 years of experience advising Christians globally, they bridge the gap between faith and strategic career planning.
Founded by a team with experience at Oxford and Cambridge, Christians for Impact addresses a crucial need: helping believers understand how their career choices—spanning 80,000 hours over a lifetime—can become powerful tools for advancing God's redemptive purposes. Their approach combines Scripture, research, and practical guidance to help Christians move beyond simply "following their passion" to pursuing maximum Kingdom impact.
The organization focuses on eight pressing global problems where Christians can make significant differences: missions and evangelism, global poverty, preventable diseases, politics and policy, climate change, animal welfare, catastrophic pandemics, and nuclear security. Through free career guides and personalized 1-on-1 mentoring, they've guided hundreds of Christians toward meaningful, impactful vocations.
Christians for Impact hosts an annual conference bringing together 100+ young, ambitious, impact-driven Christians including their November 1-2, 2025 conference in Washington, D.C. (Click here for more information) as well as November 22-23 in the U.K.
"With so many problems in the world, which one is God calling us to? In what jobs can God have the greatest impact through us?" - Christians for Impact Founders
Grounded in historic Christian orthodoxy, Christians for Impact represents a new generation of faith-work integration that takes both biblical calling and strategic impact seriously.
