Inner City - International Expansion

#0781944

Christ has given the Church the mandate to "preach the gospel to the poor" (Luke 4:18 KJV). Since establishing a ministry to the inner cities of America in 1983, Cru has sought to obey this mandate. Today there are ministries in 17 U.S. cities.

But we believe that God is leading us to expand our efforts internationally. Clearly the problems of the inner city are not limited to the United States. Potential ministry partners in other countries — churches and other Christian groups — are asking us for help in developing inner-city ministries.

Cru’s ministry partners in India, in the South American nation of Guyana, and in Western Europe are particularly asking us to consider helping them minister in their inner cities more effectively. As God leads, and as leaders are raised up, we hope to move into ministry in these regions initially. (We already have two interns from Europe in training for nine months in the U.S., in response to the desire of European partners to begin inner-city ministry there.)

We will not, however, reduce our ministry efforts in America’s inner cities. We will not divert any resources from our decades-long work in the U.S. Indeed, our goal for 2014 is to expand our efforts into 10 additional U.S. cities (the largest one-year expansion in our history).

Today, we invite you to take part in this very exciting new development, the launch of an international expansion of our inner-city ministry.

God is clearly opening doors.
