The Inner City Ministry of Cru

She was struggling to read. Falling behind in her classes. Acting out. In just second grade, little Katie was already in serious trouble. But a friend like you provided a safe after-school program for her with homework help and tutoring, Bible activities, character development, and the love of Jesus to transform her life! This fall, kids like Katie are experiencing hardships from every corner of their lives. Please lift them up — and transform their futures — by supporting our S.A.Y. Yes!® centers today.

Say YES to education, hope, and life change in Jesus’ name for inner-city children across the nation. Stand with us in support of this urgently needed outreach ministry to urban youth in America’s inner cities this fall! You will provide after-school help with homework, positive mentorship, biblical guidance, healthy food, safe activities, and the love of Christ poured into their lives. It’s transformational!

Share the gift of hope and the Gospel with children and families in inner cities across America – through our 2024 PowerPacks outreach! Children need school supplies, support, and encouragement to start off the school year.

Most importantly, they need to be drawn to Jesus! We want to share these PowerPacks with children from inner cities across America. Please pray and give as generously as possible today.

With the school year quickly approaching, you have the opportunity to change children’s lives by the power of God’s love. With your help, we can share the love of Jesus with our PowerPacks.

Inside, each child will find brand-new school supplies, and a gospel presentation designed especially for school-aged children. God can use your gift today to set a child and a family on a whole new path … toward a new life in Christ.

The Word of God is truth. It's full of His promises that will never be broken. 🙏

"I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word." - Psalm 130:5

It is that time of year again! J.A.M Camp at Cru Inner City Detroit is coming up in June and we encourage you to pass this information along to reach high school age young men.

This camp is all about gaining a closer relationship with Jesus, strengthening skills in athletics and demonstrating biblical manhood.

Lives are being changed through Gods love in The Inner City Ministry of Cru - New York City ❤️

We might change our minds. We might be flaky. But God is faithful. He doesn't change His mind concerning His promise of love. 🙏

"Understand, therefore, that the LORD your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands." (NLT) 📖

Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always. 🙏

We rejoice because He hasn't hidden Himself from us. If we seek God, we find God.

Each day the sun rises, it should be a reminder of God's unfailing love for us.🙏

"Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning, for I am trusting you. Show me where to walk, for I give myself to you." (NLT)

🙏 A heartfelt thank you to all who generously donated and volunteered their time to pack Easter bags for our Easter Bag Outreach initiative! With your support, we brought joy to children from inner cities, sharing the love of Christ through these special bags. Your kindness made a difference.

Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. The grave couldn’t hold Jesus, and it won’t hold us either! 🙌

It’s more than just a moment in history. It’s a promise that death isn’t final and God’s power is greater than the grave.
