Urban Ministry Resources
All downloads are FREE, but consider giving a donation to the Urban Student Scholarship Fund
aka Rebecca Sims Memorial Fund. See donation button below...
both funds support students, staff interns, and summer missions in
urban areas of our city and USA. Featured resources for contemporary discipleship and devotion These
are books from local authors and schools making a radical impact across
America and the world. See other resources for urban missions and
teaching children/youth at our free downloads page. Urban Boot Camps during 2015... Community-based
urban missions training will be offered January, March, and July at
established sites where sustainable outreach and community development
exist. See pictures and read stories on the student ministries
page. Urban boot camps are packed with a progressive classroom
approach to learning urban ministry and direct outreach experiences
within under resourced communities. The balance of theory, preparation,
and community engagement allows students freedom in developing a
ministry plan including gospel-centered activities, service projects
with city kids, and urban night life. All this within 3 days to a
full week helps students develop God's heart for the city.
Classes, rooming, and meals are offered in a secure urban location.

Lyrics by John E. Blake - Musical arrangement by Sean Blake Search iTunes via Children's Music/Child Evangelism Fellowship/7 MIT song When you download the 7MIT please contribute to the Urban Student Scholarship Fund (see donate button). D.I.S. Clubs
were developed out of a great need. Urban missionaries had to find a
way to more effectively communicate with city, multi-ethnic, and GenX
kids. Even though city kids were the target -- the results have
benefited all kids. D.I.S. Clubs are extremely fun for the kids
and teachers. There is increased freedom for teachers to meet
multiple needs of the kids who attend. These clubs do not force a
prescribed teaching method, but incorporate a variety for appropriate
use when teaching adjustments need to be made. Many other urban
resources that grew out of D.I. S. Clubs can be found in the City Kids
