Here's Life Inner City's mission is to serve and mobilize the Church to live out God's heart for the poor, so all can grow in Christ and spiritually multiply. 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.
S.A.Y. Yes! Centers for Youth Development are an in-your-life mentoring ministry that focuses on the whole child. They are committed to helping young people develop a dynamic, life-long relationship with Jesus Christ and helping them become all that He created them to be.
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.
