Spring Break Urban Encounter, Priority 1 Ministries, Bronx, New York

 Description
During the week there will be  opportunities for ministry including: serving at a Breakfast ministry; serving 
lunch to disadvantaged families at a "love" kitchen; volunteering at a World Vision Storehouse; 
working with inner-city children during an after-school program; doing the AmazinGRace around the city; and, 
participating in a prayer walk. There may also be time for some sight-seeing in New York City, as the schedule allows 
(although this is not a primary reason for you to come).  Priority 1 staff will coordinate all opportunities 
with inner-city host ministries. Each of the projects share common elements (e.g., service opportunities, 
building relationships, serving in multi-cultural setting, Bible study, worship, etc.) but are different in specific 
format. They nearly all share a common commitment to teaching Christian values of lifestyle, biblical community, 
and the ministry of the urban church. In one way or another these projects provide an opportunity for you to 
deepen your worldview as you gain a greater understanding and compassion for the needs of inner-city people, and 
to connect you with individuals, agencies and churches that are making a difference in the city.
