Guns 2 Gardens is a National safe Surrender Network inspired by the work of Raw Tools (raw tools.org). It’s vision is to create a network of congregations across the country that have an ongoing ministry of disarming unwanted guns. The metal scraps will be forged into garden tools and then donated to Baltimore City community gardens which mentor to the city’s youth.
This ministry embodies Isaiah’s vision where “…they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.” — Isaiah 2:4
