Challenging the System

by Kit & Ian Danley

Neighborhood Ministries has been working in Phoenix's hard neighborhoods for almost 25 years. What began as a simple emergency food and clothing bank has now grown into a Christian Community Development organization which includes a multiethnic-bilingual church, outreach serving over 1,000 kids and youth weekly, aggressive stay-in-school programs, a medical clinic, jobs placement, head start for preschool children, mentoring programs, a growing arts emphasis, an economic barter system, and a lot more. All of these programs have at their foundations an incarnational, relational heartbeat.
