WHAT IS URBAN
MISSIONS ABOUT?
For the time you are in Denver as an Urban
Missions group, you are the heart and hands
of Jesus with us. This may mean befriending
a child in our preschool or during VBS. It
may involve being covered with dirt and sweat
from a work project that will help us as we
minister to our neighbors. It may be spending
time with our disabled friends over lunch.
We need YOUR help to minister to the often-forgotten
people in the city of Denver.
How will Jesus use YOU?

$30 per person per night.
This includes dorm space with showers &
