| As most of you know, Family Life Centre (formally known as Holding Forth the Word of Life Ministries) is more than just a church. We are a ministry that houses the Oasis of Love Inc., Crisis Intervention Center, and the Agape I & II 24-hour Child Development Centers' families on a daily basis. Our services include odd-hour child care, domestic abuse counseling, violence prevention and intervention, GED assistance, mentoring, a food shelf; and leadership training for at-risk youth. We've had the privilege of hosting two gun buy back events that took several hundred automatic and semi-automatic weapons off of the streets of Minneapolis. We currently employ about 50 people, most of which own homes here in the community. These accomplishments would be commendable for any church, but because of our size and location, these accomplishments were miraculous: Through this combination of programs, we have literally ministered to thousands of families covering 140 zip codes, over the past several years. In 2008, we are celebrating 26 years of ministry and community service! All of these programs operated in North Minneapolis, an urban community being threatened by drugs, violence, crime, teen pregnancy and hopelessness. Even the midst of these social ills and negative media images, we have emerged as an agent for positive change in our community. Rather than complaining, we have become a major part of the solution. The City of Minneapolis has acknowledged our efforts through 3 different city resolutions. Can any good come out of North Minneapolis? The answer is a resounding, "YES, YES, YES"! |
