A MINISTRY OF COMPASSION AND WHOLENESS
People who are suffering need both. They need our Compassion to put an immediate end to their suffering. They need to achieve Wholeness so they no longer need the help we provide. Urban Ministry recognizes the importance of both compassion and wholeness. We work to end suffering. We work to equip people for life. We work to effect changes in society. And in the process, we change lives.
