2 2 Dear Ministry Leader, Greetings from the front lines of the Mission Field of New York City, The Most International City in the World. Founded in 1984, the New York School of Urban Ministry (NYSUM) hosts, trains, and deploys over 5,000 youth and adults each year by partnering with inner city pastors and churches throughout New York City. In addition to providing practical urban classroom teaching and training, NYSUM provides accommodations and home-style meals for small and large groups at our 70,000 square foot training campus. NYSUM s staff equips students from colleges, seminaries, Bible schools, youth groups, and church groups. Our students learn about inner-city ministry at the grassroots through diverse, cross-cultural, handson outreaches to Muslims, Jewish people, the homeless, abused women, the disabled, terminally ill, and those victimized by natural disasters. Our outreaches take place via street meetings, soup kitchens, rescue missions, city shelters, rehab centers, and more. We are also excited about our Food Truck ministry. We use this vehicle as a tool for citywide evangelism, partnering with pastors and churches throughout New York City. Please take a moment to read over this catalog showing the wide variety of short-term urban missions trips we offer at NYSUM. On behalf of my wife and I and our staff, we invite you and your ministry to participate in the life-changing NYSUM experience in the heart of New York City. We hope to see you soon! Yours for urban leadership, WHY SHORT-TERM MISSIONS IN NEW YORK CITY? Massive Population: New York City has a population of approximately 10 million people, more than the populations of 39 U.S. States. It is roughly equivalent to the combined populations of Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston. Ethnic diversity: NYC is considered the Most International City in the World. Approximately 36% of New Yorkers are foreign born, and at least 200 languages are spoken here. Homelessness & Poverty: 14% of the U.S. homeless population resides in New York City. While the U.S. average is 13% living below the poverty line, 27.1% of the Bronx s population and 21.9% of Brooklyn s population live below the poverty line. Disaster Relief: As a result of the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy, the need for helping needy and hurting New Yorkers has skyrocketed since late October HANDS-ON MINISTRY STREET EVANGELISM PREP Rev.

Later on, one of the mothers at the shelter received her salvation and it just so happened to be that boy s mother. We serve such an awesome God! Marcia, The Breakthrough Center
