The Bronx
New York City is home to 8.4 million people from all over
the world, almost 1.4 million of whom live in the Bronx. The blend of cultures,
classes, and colors is one of the most diverse anywhere, and they all need
Jesus. Priority 1 has had a presence in the Bronx, in partnership with the
Urban Discipleship Center (a ministry of the Brethren In Christ Church) since
2004. We have brought many interns and countless teams of all sizes to the city
to run Bible Clubs, to feed the homeless, to stock shelves, to play with and
tutor kids after school, to experience the city, to grow their perspectives,
and – we hope and pray – to begin to become tomorrow’s missionaries. The city
has just about every type of ministry imaginable, something for everyone to
connect with.
