Here’s to Life Inner City in Denver, Colorado is hosting its 6th Annual Event Wine Tasting on Saturday, March 27th, 2010 in the Adirondack Room at the Tivoli Center on the Auraria Campus in Denver. This event annually raises more than $10,000 to help Here’s Life Inner City continue to serve youth in many of Denver’s poorest neighborhoods.
Here’s Life Inner City is a faith-based non-profit organization offering training and resources to serve urban churches that reach out to “at-risk” inner city children, youth and young adults. Its mission is to “engage the body of Christ in urban youth ministry”. This is accomplished through:
Bridging People In. One of HLIC Denver’s roles is to recruit people from outside the inner city context (including local and nationwide college students and people from suburban churches) into urban youth ministries in Denver. This provides understaffed inner city ministries in Denver with the needed laborers (serving as workers, mentors, tutors, etc) to fulfill their ministries.
Coaching Ministries Forward. HLIC Denver also helps move existing urban youth ministries forward through ongoing program support, strategic planning, and volunteer development. This strengthens the ministry structure of urban churches so that they can not only adequately handle the outside volunteers who come in, but also to be most effective in their ministries to youth in the city.
Support of this fundraiser will help HLIC Denver reach their goal of $15,000 and will help churches in Denver’s highest-risk neighborhoods effectively make a difference in the lives of inner city youth.
