Urban Vision


Did you know that Edge partners with a local ministry called Urban Vision? Their purpose is to share the love of Christ to inner city kids in Akron. They put on events and programs for kids on a weekly basis. Every 4th Saturday of each month, a small group from Edge heads down to Urban Vision to make and serve breakfast to kids during their Saturday morning Kid's club. Tomorrow night, we are sending several Edge families down to Urban Vision to serve at their Harvest Party, which is just a big Halloween Carnival. They expect tons of kids to enter their facility to have a blast and get a glimpse of the love of Jesus.

Sometimes, we tend to forget that life is extremely different just 10 miles down the road from the church...poverty, kids without families, kids whose parents are addicted to drugs, and more. I am so grateful for Urban Vision and other ministries that have a heart for these people. Would you pray for Urban Vision today?

If you are ever interested in serving there, ask your small group leader to take your group down there. It'll be a great time! I took my group down there last year and we had a blast serving together for a good cause.
