History
Inner City Mission is a homeless shelter in Springfield, IL that desires to understand the causes of homelessness, work with their community, and help restore people to Christ and the hope and peace found in Him. They believe Jesus has commissioned the Body of Believers to be ambassadors of His love to those who are weary and burdened by this world. Shelter, clothing, and food are important and necessary, but it is peace found in Jesus that truly transforms a person's life.
CSC's Involvement with ICM
This year was the first time that CSC took a trip to volunteer with Inner City Mission. Our women's minister, Josie, used to work at ICM. When she realized that some of our current students had worked with ICM before, whether that was taking a trip or being from a supporting area church, she realized that being able to lead a trip to somewhere local with connections that already existed was a great opportunity to help build connections and further the kingdom.
Our Trip
We volunteered on a weekend trip where we prepped and cooked all of the meals, organized the pantry, helped make curriculum for classes, made jewelry, played a lot of games, and led a devotion with worship.
