Mission Spotlight: Streets

12 Nov

Our very own Jonathan Ahern works for Streets Ministries and we have had a couple of our classes provide snacks for their high school and middle school block parties.  Thanks Jonathan for your service and work with Streets.

STREETS MINISTRIES

General Overview

Mission Statement

The mission of Streets Ministries is to serve impoverished youth in the Memphis metropolitan area by unconditionally representing the Good News of Jesus Christ in word and deed in such a way that underserved adolescents have the opportunity to see, hear, and respond to the Good News of the Gospel, and to be empowered to live a life of obedience to God.

History

In 1987, God called Ken Bennett to a life of service in the most desperate neighborhoods of Memphis, with the firm conviction that the only path to true and enduring change for this area was through the hope found in Jesus Christ. What began with a van, a basketball and a heart to trust God on a daily basis is now a thriving, dynamic outreach for over 1,500 kids a week who deserve the same chance to succeed as those born to more fortunate circumstances.

A Christian ministry dedicated to serving the core needs of the people who call the inner city of Memphis home. For kids ages 8-20 living in these neighborhoods, Streets provides a safe haven and much more: a place to hang out, meet a friend, and be welcomed with an unconditional love based in Jesus Christ. Streets provides a wide range of educational, mentoring and recreational programming as well as weekly outreach “Clubs” and Bible Studies.
