On a weekly basis, we attract anywhere from 150-200
kids to our programs. While we intentionally target kids
ages 5-18, we always seem to attract more than our
fair share of both older and younger kids.
These kids are truly amazing. They are generally
African-American or Hispanic, from low income
families, and starving for love and affection of any kind.
We have seen these kids respond in amazing ways to
God's love, and then turn around and share that love
with us, each other, and their neighbors.
When we first began this ministry, we knew the key to our
success would be our volunteers. Love is certainly shown
through words, but much more powerfully through actions.
We have been blessed with an incredibly devoted group of
high school students and adults who love the Lord, love kids,
and love Hartford. We know that God is honored by both their
sacrifice and commitment - and we have seen them receive
blessing after blessing in return.
