The mission of Here's Life Inner City® is to serve and mobilize the Church to live out God's heart for the poor, so all can grow in Christ to build spiritual movements everywhere. Our desire is to respond to the needs expressed by inner-city churches and ministries of all Christian denominations. Our resources are meant to strengthen the impact of these ministries for Christ, in both the short and long term.

HLIC YouthDev, formerly known only as S.A.Y. (Save America's Youth) Yes! Centers for Youth Development®, has grown over the past few years to include far more than just S.A.Y. Yes! Training and Curriculum.

Our mission is to train and support churches to help youth develop a lifelong, dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ through in-your-life mentoring ministries.

In many inner-city neighborhoods, Christians are feeling a need to open the doors of their churches during the after school hours, and to minister to children and teens during this time of day when many are unsupervised and vulnerable to getting into trouble. The S.A.Y. Yes! program of HLIC is designed to minister to the wholistic needs of young people: physical, spiritual, emotional, social and intellectual. Here's Life Inner City offers specialized training, curriculum, and other forms of assistance.

RELOAD is a place where relationships are introduced, where a community of believers are strengthened, and where dreams for positive shifts in ministry are hopeful through the eyes of the Lord. Come and experience an exchange in the Spirit through worship, workshops, and the Word of God.
