Restoring Unity took place in Birmingham, Alabama, at the Guiding Light Church and the Birmingham Jefferson Convention Center, on the five year anniversary of the [[Restoring Honor Rally]].  The march that took place followed the same footsteps that [[Martin Luther King]] walked.

Beck first announced the Nazarene Fund during the event at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex.  The basis of the effort is to relocate people from the middle east to a safer place who are targeted by ISIS, who are being murdered, raped, tortured, and sold into sex slavery.  ISIS targets people solely because they believe in Christianity, and paints the Nazarene symbol on their door as a warning that they are next.
