Urban Ministries

SIM/ECWA City Ministries operates about twenty Care Centers throughout Nigeria. Some of these are named “Gidan Bege” (“House of Hope” in the Nigerian language Hausa). During 2011, we will help care for approximately 400 orphans and needy children and will provide over 500,000 meals to those in need, working in conjunction with some 250 Nigerian staff and volunteers to serve Nigeria's most challenged communities.City Ministries also runs a school for widows in Jos.

Besides City Ministries, SIM missionaries are involved in other urban ministries such as prison visitation and the new Grace Garden halfway house for prostitutes who want to leave their old lives behind.
