Hello!
We're in the business of changing lives for Christ. It's truly a miracle to be a part of a homeless family finding their way home or to see a student find their life-long calling to serve while on a CSM trip. A CSM trip participant once said, "During a week with CSM, one is
not just thrown into a nonprofit organization without first being
educated on the needs and purposes of the organization; nor does one
simply volunteer and forget about what they did."Our prayer is to be an agent for restoration in the city - to transform lives, cultivate leaders and be a part of God's great work! Would you join us? Come and discover the real New York City - this month's City Highlight. If

City Highlight: New York City
|
One question that comes up very often when meeting with youth leaders,
groups, friends and family, and our ministry sites is how has the past
year's recession had an effect on New York City (and in some cases,
CSM). It's an issue that's tough to ignore, as many of the stories from
NY Times have to do with unemployment rates in the city, funding being
cut, subway prices sky rocketing. Although New York City has actually
not been impacted as deeply as some imagine, (and compared to other
cities), the effect can't be ignored in looking at the changes NYC and
the people living here have experienced.
