NYC Ministry

Picture
Mission Manhattan, 1971
New York City has been a big part of my life since I first went there on a summer ministry team in 1971, with a married couple and three other single Bob Jones University students. The entire background of our website is the NYC skyline at night with the Hudson River in the foreground. Rather than take a lot of space here giving my testimony of planting a church in Queens in 1974, and giving the details of how this summer ministry came about, let me refer you to the NYSET blog for those details. I will simply say now that God used that summer ministry to call three of the five teammates to be church planters in various boroughs of the City. We planted Faith Baptist Church in Queens in September of 1974.
We left Queens in 1986, and went to our second church in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, in the fall of 1987. We have retained our burden all of these years and knew when we started Heart Lifting Ministries in 2002, that we had to have a part in reaching the multitudes in NYC again.

There have been 41 students on NYSET from 2004 through 2012 (our current team). These college age students and older adults have come from many states, Bible colleges, local churches where we have ministered, and five foreign countries! Our purposes and goals are to be a help and blessing to NYC area churches, to reach the lost with the Gospel, to give young people a greater burden for the lost of the world, and to expose the need of the inner city so more young men will be called to inner city ministry.

God has called Daniel and Maggy Klaus to Brooklyn. They have helped Donna and me every summer since 2008. Two other team members from the 2011 team have expressed a genuine interest and burden for starting churches in NYC as well!

Team members participate in tract distribution, personal soulwinning, open-air street meetings, children’s meetings in the parks, preaching in NYC area churches, helping with VBS, providing special music in the services, and helping with work projects. Please go visit the NYSET blog to learn more about this exciting and challenging summer ministry.
