Cities4kids

2023 HAS BEEN AN INSPIRING YEAR FOR CITIES4KIDS, FILLED WITH NEW OPPORTUNITIES AND MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS. WE FACILITATED EIGHT CHILDREN'S CAMPS, HOSTED NUMEROUS YOUTH AND ADULT SERVICES, AND COORDINATED A LARGE- SCALE DELIVERY OF AMAZON DONATIONS TO THE NAVAJO NATION IN GALLUP, NM. IT WAS ALSO A JOY TO PARTNER WITH POWER CHURCH IN AMARILLO, TX, SUPPORTING THEIR FIRST-EVER KIDS' CAMP-A REWARDING EXPERIENCE THAT HAS OPENED EVEN MORE DOORS FOR MINISTRY. EVERY SUMMER, WE INVITE OUR CAMPERS TO JOIN US IN GIVING BACK, AND LAST YEAR WAS NO EXCEPTION. CHILDREN ACROSS OUR DOMESTIC CAMPS BROUGHT THEIR PENNY OFFERINGS WITH ENTHUSIASM, RAISING OVER 7,000 TO SUPPORT KIDS OTHER COUNTRIES. THEIR EAGERNESS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IS TRULY INSPIRING IN FEBRUARY, MISSION WORK WAS CONTINUED AS THE MINISTRY ASSISTED IN RENOVATING CHILDREN'S FACILITIES IN MUCH NEEDED AREAS. IN 2023, CITIES4KIDS REACHED OVER 1,200 CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES, DELIVERING FAITH-BASED OUTREACH PROGRAMS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES AND INTERNATIONALLY. WITH PROGRAMS IN THREE U.S. STATES AND FIVE COUNTRIES, WE ORGANIZED FREE, ENRICHING DAY CAMPS FOR CHILDREN AGED 6-12, CREATING SAFE AND POSITIVE SPACES FOR GROWTH AND CONNECTION. THIS YEAR'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS WERE MADE POSSIBLE BY THE DEDICATION OF 500 VOLUNTEERS AND THE HARD WORK OF OUR COMMITTED STAFF, SUPPORTING NINE MISSION TRIPS IN TOTAL. THROUGH THESE EFFORTS, WE'VE BEEN HONORED TO SHARE MESSAGES OF HOPE AND ENCOURAGEMENT WITH COMMUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD.
