New Horizons Ministries Receives $12,000
Executive Director Mary Steele of New Horizons Ministries receives a $12,000 contribution from Liberty Road
New Horizons Ministries has been serving on the streets of Seattle since 1978 and was first founded in response to the growing problems of youth involved in street activity in downtown Seattle. These youth confront daunting physical, social, emotional, developmental and spiritual challenges. Unfortunately, our young people who live on streets simply don’t look towards their future because they’re focused on daily survival. It becomes increasingly difficult for them to imagine their life anywhere other than on the streets. By following Jesus’ example, New Horizons Ministries endeavors to provide resources, hope and encouragement to those youth beginning a new life off the streets. Their ministry is proud to have helped 1,700 people in the last year to make lasting life changes.
Urban Impact Receives $10,000

They work to foster “life -changing relationships” and address the disparities and hopelessness of families in poverty. Urban Impact is a Christian, multi-ethnic group, striving to break the cycle of social, material and spiritual poverty in urban neighborhoods. We believe communities are strengthened when families are connected, resources are generated, and local assets are celebrated!

MTC treats adult “members” holistically, recognizing that each of them has individual needs for physical, mental and spiritual healing.
