Inner City Impact

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 day camp program. This year we had 160 different children attend the day camp program with an average of 78 per day.

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 53 people that were a part of the leadership development program. We had an average of 17 kids per week in Bible study/discipleship relationship with staff, 10 kids in the beginning stages of the leadership training, 6 that work as interns, 1 student we are helping to pay for college and 5 full time staff members that were partially funded through this part of our ministry.

Food distribution: During fiscal 2024, the food distribution ministry that served 1,809 individuals. This was done through food delivery to individual houses as well as mass distributions out of our Cicero location.
