“As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.”
Proverbs 27:17
The ministry of R.A.W. United is three-fold: (1) to honor and serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, (2) to support our nation’s warriors and all military families, and (3) to offer family-friendly competition at affordable prices.
U.S. Army veteran and World Champion lifter Tony Conyers strongly supports the R.A.W. United mission.
Additionally, the federation has taken on two new areas of influence: youth (12-Under) and disabled athletes of all ages. Within these populations, we will be hosting Regional and National (October 09-11) competitions this year, and will expand to the World level in 2012.

R.A.W. United is not an “in your face” ministry, but rather an organization that does its best to follow the example of Christ and model Christian values both on and off the platform. We welcome lifters of all faiths, and are always willing to fellowship with new lifters.
