CityConnexx Wraps up a record year- 2011

Fri, 13 Jan 2012

The CityConnexx Program Mission is: “Connecting America’s suburban, urban and Native American communities through short term, high impact missions, with a focus on youth, training, collaboration and building relationships".

Our model of ministry based on John 21 is:

• Compassion – “Giving a Fish”
• Church – “Teaching people to Fish”
• Community Development – “Owning the Pond”
• City Connexx is Christ Centered & Children & Youth Focused
• Connecting the Body of Christ Across Cultures.

Thanks to our ongoing support and sponsorship from Compassion International, in 2011:

•  The total Value of Volunteer Hours from the CityConnexx Program, mission tream, and activities was:$1,129,827.00.
•  Over $105,000 of direct financial grants and program funding was given to our ministry partners in the US.
•  25% increase over 2010 in CityConnexx Mission teams serving in a dozen major US cities and Native American Ministries.
•  Our staff provided coaching for both our Ministry Partners as well as our Mission Team leadership on how to maximize the manpower  & resources to more powerfully impact their ministries & the people they serve.
•  This year we improved our strategies and provided quality resources to provide guidance for the evangelistic outreach aspect of the CityConnexx Program for the mission team leadership and their teams.

"Because we lived, ate, slept and worked in the same area that these students in the ministry were too, I have a greater understanding of the community and the people we served. We got to live life together and most importantly worship our God as one body in Christ...sisters and brothers in Him."
