God is present wherever God’s people are, and God’s people spend most of their waking hours at work. Hispanic Christians are finding hope and vitality from narratives of God’s guidance, love and power transforming work from drudgery to joy and service. But these stories are largely invisible in the fast-paced, algorithmically-driven video platforms where young adults get most of their information and stories. All people are formed by the stories they tune in to. What stories are today’s young adults encountering to shape their life, work and identity?
The Obreros (“Laborers”) initiative engages producers, creators, storytellers, filmmakers, distribution channels, pastors and community leaders to identify, produce and share narratives of the vibrancy and hope that Christian faith brings into the world of work. Obreros draws on Hispanic networks to surface and produce these stories in world-class video format. Leveraging Theology of Work Project’s and Windrider Institute’s growing distribution channels, we aim to engage millions of young adults to consider the meaning behind these stories.
The Obreros Fellowship Cohort: 6 Fellows, 3 interns
The Obreros Fellowship was created through a collaboration between Theology of Work Project and Windrider Institute. Supported by a grant from the Lilly Foundation, Obreros exists to support a new generation of Hispanic filmmakers telling stories about work, identity, faith and meaning. Through filmmaking, mentorship, and creative community, Obreros helps emerging storytellers create films marked by artistic excellence and spiritual depth.
