Bringing LIFE to the Streets with love, hope, and practical help.We serve the homeless, poor,hurting! Street Life Ministries exists to mobilize and train volunteers in the Body of Christ to be engaged as part of the solution for those in need both in New York City and their own community by bringing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in creative, practical, and relevant means. Our agenda is twofold: 1) To serve the people in the Body of Christ through the mobilization & equipping of the saints for a life-style of worship, prayer, intercession, the Word & Evangelism and "short or long-term" service to help fulfill the Great Commission. 2) To reach the people who are outside of God's eternal family whom He longs to be brought home to Himself! One of the vehicles used literally to carry out evangelism is our "Step Van Ministry" whereby we bring a truck with soup, bread, drink, and clothing to various parts of the city. We offer practical help like referrals for Detox/Rehabs/Churches,12 steps/Jobs/Shelters/food pantry, AIDS hospice, any and all heartfelt needs we look to meet right away. SLM is also involved with worship and intercession in the Body of Christ as we meet together to intercede for our communities, city, and nation. At other times, we bring worship and intercession directly to the streets where we firmly believe God's presence draws others to Himself. Another avenue used for evangelism in combination with the Step Van Ministry or alone is Prayer Stations. A banner that reads, "Prayer Station" which is set up on a table along with the aprons worn by workers, remarkably draws people for prayer. We have visited many churches to challenge the Body and then see them come with us on the streets to serve. We also have teams of college age, youth, and all ages come on a weekly basis throughout the year to serve.
