| What is your desire for New City? | |
| That it would become more and more a place of Transformation, Joy and Freedom. There are so many ways kids come into New City - After School Center, Summer Camp, Kids Church, Acting Troupe, etc… but no matter what way they come in - my desire is that while they are here their life is transformed by the power of Jesus Christ so that they see and understand what it means to be one of his children. When this happens there will be infectious joy here, and much freedom. | |
