In the inner city, if you can’t touch it, you can’t use it; if it doesn’t help you survive — then it isn’t real. Don’t talk about “hope” unless you can demonstrate it.
That’s why Here’s Life partners with inner-city churches that are committed to ministering to the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. At the heart of these partnerships is a proven 3-phase strategy called the “Circle of Hope.”
Connecting: We provide relief products to help partner ministries connect with those in need. The outreaches which connect us to the poor include giving clothing and blankets to the homeless, getting new shoes so needy children can go back to school, providing holiday meals for individual families, and much more.
Empowering: We offer training, manpower, and other resources to help churches minister to men, women, and children in need.
Developing: Our developmental programs help equip inner-city churches to bring deep and lasting transformation to their neighborhoods.
Christian City Church partners with Here’s Life Inner City at least twice a year to volunteer in their outreach ministries.
Fall 2008 Launch: Thursday, October 17 at 7pm!
Beyond: Lift Up Your Eyes is C3M’s newest initiative about mercy, grace, and justice—lifting our eyes off of our own worlds and looking beyond our walls into our city, our country, and around the world.
Beyond empowers and encourages individuals and their local, national, and international non-profit efforts, as they seek to expand their vision, forge creative collaborations, and develop kingdom-minded, compassionate character to meet the physical and spiritual needs of this world.
Beyond will also serve as a resource for C3M and the community by facilitating meaningful connections between people and their resources and the needs of non-profit organizations in New York City and abroad.
Beyond meets the third Thursday of every other month. Please contact info@cccmanhattan.org for the schedule and more information.
