Organizations Filed Purposes:
Presenting the living Christ, primarily to unchurched inner city children and youth, discipling and integrating them into a local church. We serve all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.
Engage at-risk youth in relational programs, develop leaders and share the love of Christ.
Programs, Clubs, Outings, and Activities: We run after-school programs that are focused on providing an alternative to children and youth as well as teaching them the Word of God. We had 714 different kids that attend our various clubs. At the clubs, the children are given a chance to play games, do crafts, and learn about the Bible. During the year we also provide various special events for the kids that consist of special days in our building or taking kids to events. We had over 1,200 children attend the special events in our building where we informed them about how they could become involved in our programs that we run. We also had an event we took the kids to once a month where we average 50 children per event. Each of these are focused on spending time with children while providing a fun experience for them.
Leadership Development: The leadership development program is focused on helping develop Christian leaders from the communities where we minister. The program consists of small group Bible studies, leadership training, hiring interns, helping pay for college, and helping to provide funding for full-time staff from the community. This year we had a total of 421 people that were a part of the leadership development program. We had an average of 186 kids per week in Bible study/discipleship relationship with staff, 2 kids in the beginning stages of the leadership training, 3 that work as interns, 1 student we are helping to pay for college and 4 full time staff members that were partially funded through this part of our ministry.
Camp: The camping ministry is designed to provide a focused time for children to hear about God's Word without distractions of the city and to experience and enjoy God's creation. Camping trips range from daily getaways to week long overnight trips to a seven week daycamp program. This year we had 298 different children attend the daycamp program with an average of 140 per day. We took 116 children on weeklong overnight camping trips. We took 189 children on overnight camping trips to various campgrounds. On each camping trip there were Bible lessons that were taught to the kids.
