WHAT:
IGNITE LASTING CHANGE GIVING CAMPAIGN
Our work is grounded in compassion, dignity, and the belief that everyone deserves an opportunity to experience the transformative love of Jesus. From providing access to resources that meet tangible needs, to offering youth, educational and spiritual programs, your support empowers individuals and families to break the cycle of poverty, crime, addiction and fatherlessness and create new possibilities for their futures.
This year, we've seen God move powerfully through City Takers Movement. At our annual fundraising dinner, our community came together and raised an incredible $110,000 in one night! Now, we stand just $90,000 away from our year-end goal of $200,000—a goal that will allow us to reach, restore, and activate even more lives in marginalized communities.
$200,00 by Dec 31st
Thanks to our partner Thrivent Financial we have a fundraiser giving link with no fees until 12/31.

“I didn’t think anyone cared about me. But City Takers showed me I have value, and now I know Jesus has a plan for my life.”

In urban communities, many individuals and families face overwhelming challenges, including poverty, crime, addiction, and fatherlessness. These issues are often compounded by a lack of access to education, support systems, and spiritual guidance. The need for intervention is urgent, as these barriers prevent people from breaking the cycle of hardship and building a brighter future. The marginalized and underserved populations are calling out for help, and they need resources and opportunities that address both their tangible needs (such as food, housing, and education) and their spiritual and emotional well-being.
-
The Ignite Lasting Change campaign provides a comprehensive solution to these challenges. Through compassionate outreach and life-changing programs, we offer physical and spiritual support, education, empowerment, and community-building initiatives. By addressing the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—we empower individuals and families to overcome the obstacles that hold them back. Programs include:
Physical & Spiritual Support: Providing resources to meet immediate needs while also offering spiritual care to help individuals find hope and purpose.
Education & Empowerment: Offering skills training, mentorship, and educational programs that equip people to create lasting positive change in their lives.
Community Building: Creating safe spaces where individuals can heal, grow, and build a supportive network that fosters long-term resilience and success.
-
By supporting the Ignite Lasting Change campaign, donors directly contribute to the transformation of individuals and communities. The impact is profound and far-reaching:
Breaking the Cycle of Poverty: Access to essential resources and education helps families move out of poverty and build a stable future.
Restoring Families: Programs for youth and mentoring initiatives help combat fatherlessness and offer hope to the next generation.
Healing Communities: As individuals are empowered and supported, they can contribute to building stronger, safer communities that thrive together.
Sustaining Long-Term Change: The campaign will fund programs that continue to serve thousands of individuals and families in 2025 and beyond, igniting a chain reaction of positive change that will impact lives for years to come.
