With one peopleWe are ethnically, generationally, and socio-economically diverse. We believe this is a testimony to the

great power o the Gospel that people rom dierent ethnic groups, classes, and age groups gathertogether to be one body.

In OnE plaCEWe are a group o urban and suburban Christians who are all

united behind the mission o claiming Gospel responsibility or

nine neighborhoods that sit inside twelve square miles in NE

Denver Five Points, Whittier, Cole, Globeville, Elyria/Swansea,

Skyland, Clayton, North Park Hill, and Northeast Park Hill.

For liFe!In a highly mobile culture, deep relationships are rare. In a poverty-stricken neighborhood, change is

hard. In a racially divided city, trust has to be developed over time. Thereore, we are committed to

hunkering down with one another, working through our conicts, ostering an atmosphere o love and

acceptance, and staying or lie.

StoRieS

HENRY & MARY

HENDRICKSONMary and I cried together in

the car ater our 4th Sunday at

Providence. Having just heard

Jesus parable about the treasure

in the feld, I grabbed my wies

hand and headed out the back.

The parable demanded a decision,

especially rom the likes o two

souls so thoroughly prepared to

hear it.

We had visited churches here

and there in the past but always

let eeling like it just wasnt

or us. Somehow the idea o

joining a church elt like a step

backward. I was grateul or my

upbringing and I knew I would

always be inspired by Jesus but

in view o my ample cynicism,disappointment with the

American church, and lack o a

better option, our ate seemed

clear; we would have to ollow

Jesus alone. We had been wearing

down under that understanding

or 4-5 years when this parable,

and this church, came along and

slapped hope into us.

There in the car we realized

anew that, even with all the

inconveniences and other

associated costs, living within the

kingdom o God is well worth it.

A man doesnt liquidate all his

assets or negligible rewards. No,

he glimpses a glimmer o that

treasure in the soil and becomes

consumed by it. He gets gold

ever. Suddenly hes no longer the

protagonist; instead the treasure

haunts him. Thats how we elt inthe car. So we decided to jump

in. We joined a community group

and received many new close and

meaningul relationships. Duringthe Sunday services the eldership

gave themselves to preaching

and we began to hear the gospel

again. All o these elements

cooperated in restoring our weary

souls. Beore long we started

helping to transport Congolese

reugees to our Sunday morning

services. We began to want the

Congolese to experience the same

sense o belonging so we openedup a new community group in

one o their homes out in Aurora.

The best part was the style o

relationship that developed. The

love was reciprocal. Sure I elt

some responsibility but I didnt

venture out to aurora to give love,

I ventured out there to be loved.

All this to say, any chip I had on

my shoulder towards the church

is gone now. For the frst time,I understand why God calls the

church his bride.

FELIPE & MONICA

MORENOMy name is Felipe and my

wie is Monica. We are rom

Ciudad de Jurez in Mexico.

We arrived in Denver in

May 2011 and within weeks started attending

Providence Bible Church. We were invited by Pepe

and Chabi, who rom the beginning were interested

in our spiritual needs, praying ervently that we

might receive consolation in our hearts, rom the

pain caused by the recent loss o our oldest son,

victim o violence in Ciudad Jurez. Last year we

were challenged to step out in aith and be baptized

into the church. Pastor Juan Pea explained to us

the meaning o believers baptism, and in August

2012 my wie and I gave public witness o our aith

in Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior by being

baptized. We testiy that rom that moment came

a change in ourselves! Our thinking is positive and

ull o hope; our speech is more kind, loving and

reects what we have learned rom the Word o

God; the vices o cigarette and alcohol are long gone,

and our marriage has become stronger. We can say

that we are dierent people. We owe everything

to the mercy and grace o God through our Lord

Jesus Christ, whom we thank rom the depths o

our being. Over the past year we have opened our

apartment to host a Basement group where we

read the Bible together in community with other

Latinos and pray. Every day we are growing more

and more in our understanding o the teachings

o Scripture. We hope to continue to serve in the

church, along with our daughters, in a greater level

o commitment to the glory o God.

WILLIE MOSLEYMy ather was a gangsta.

His lie was ull o ancy

cars, clothes, money

and women. My mom

was a single parent who

worked to provide a

good home or me and

my sister. My mom

was dating a guy or a ew years. He abused her

regularly and so one time, I stabbed him in the leg

when he was beating her. He took the knie and

started stabbing her.

From my earliest days, I remember a lot o violence.

I thought it was just part o lie. I became a gang

member or the glamour and respect it gave my

ather and to protect my mom. At age 11, I was sentto Lookout Mountain or a shooting and when I got

out, my boys showed me so much love I thought

this was my way o making a name or mysel.

Now, I had to live up to my name. I got involved in

another shooting when I supplied guns or a drive

by that ended up taking the lie o a three-year-old

boy. I did 17 years on a 22-year sentence. While in

prison, I began to read the Bible. I mean really read

it. Gods Word touched me and I knew I wanted and

needed to be His servant.

I was thrown in the hole ater a prison riot broke

out that I was blamed or, but had no part in. Iound a Bible and read a Scripture that said I you

ask and believe, He will answer. I got on my knees

and asked God to let the warden see I had nothing

to do with it. Ater what seemed like ten minutes, the

door was opened and I was released back into general

population. At that moment, I knew I belonged to God

Ater being released rom prison, I walked into A

Strong Tower Ministry. I told them my testimony

and immediately began telling people that

something needed to be done or the kids in my

hood so they wouldnt go down my same path. God

listened to my heart and put me to the test. I am

now working with the Cub Scouts and I speak to all

that I encounter about how dierent their lives will

be i they look to a more positive outcome and God.

Im 37 years old, out o prison, doing what I love, and

enjoying the blessings He has continued to give me.

All praise goes to God who makes all things possible

KIP

PYLEI was

raised in a

Christian

amily

with

Christian

values. I

walked

away rom the church when I

was 6 yrs old. The people at the

church were very hypocritical.

Their actions did not reect theirwalk. My Father died when I

was 8 years old which started a

series o deaths throughout my

amily over the next 10 years.

I walked through lie trying to

make sense out o each trial

that I had to endure. I started

smoking marijuana when I was

12 years old, drinking when I was

13, taking speed when I was 14

and cocaine when I was 16. This

was just to kill the pain o the

loss I had experienced. The fnal

blow was when one o my best

riends that I had grown up with

committed suicide. This was the

fnal straw that sent me over the

edge. I vowed and waged a ull

on war against God. How could

he be so cruel, mean and evil to

do these things to me? I hated

him with every piece o my body

and mind. So I ran down the roadwith my hair on fre and working

mysel into a perect alcoholic

stupor laced with lots o drugs

and bad actions or the next 24

years. All in all I walked away

rom God or 40 years, but God in

his infnite wisdom threw a trash

truck at me or a wake-up call.

It still took me another 2 years

to pull my head out and start

listening. It took me bouncing o

o the pavement bottom 3 or 4

times beore I gave my lie back

to God and let Him have control

again. He always did anyway; I

was just deluded and deceived.

That is when I ran into A Strong

Tower Ministry and Providence

Bible Church where I was properly

taught how to read the bible and

build my relationship with God,

Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit

and to be a man o God.

Discipleship, What a concept!

Te primar oc o or Commit Grop miitr i 2012 wa otreac a

icipeip. Our groups were busy engaging their communities through cookouts,

single mom outreaches, Vacation Bible Schools, Easter egg hunts, soccer clinics,

block parties, and much more. Collectively, we spent thousands o hours loving our

neighbors to Christ. As a result o all these outreaches, Providence is becoming

known as the church that truly cares or our community not by just talking about

God but by showing His love in tangible ways.

This year we also placed signifcant emphasis on growing our Basement Groups.

We believe that the people o Providence will not make disciples o others i they

themselves are not hearing rom God through his Word on a regular basis. This year

we saw the number o basement groups expand rom 15 to 26. We also saw the

number o active participants grow rom 69 to 98. We now have a basement group

meeting every day o the week!

We a a triig ear a a crc bo

a aw eiece o Go workig a

aro. It was a year o new ministry

opportunities both here and abroad.

This year, we studied through the

book o II Samuel and saw God work

through trial, despair, and even sin

in order to accomplish His plan and

gloriy Himsel. We also spent time as

a church revisiting our core identity.

We modifed our mission statement,ocused our ministries, and called the

church to a deeper commitment to

make disciples who make disciples.

In our childrens ministry we desire to

see the children taste and see that God

is good, so they will take reuge in him

(Ps 34:8). We continue to have a steady

attendance o 80 children each week

and are expecting many new little ones

to join our Providence amily this year.

We also have seen a signifcant increase

in the number o children attending

rom our community.

Our ministry with reugees gained

traction this year as a volunteer team

gathered steam. They joined together

to start a Community Group centered

around the reugee community. Also,

God provided us with some needed

leadership as Kelli Woodard let herjob, raised support, and came on

sta to oversee this ministry. Emile

Nsengiyumva also joined our Fellows

program and has a burden to be a

bridge with new reugees coming into

our city.

We sent out our

frst international

missionaries this year.

Matt and Bethany

Champlin will be doing

Gospel work in the

Middle East. We were

delighted that they

were able to raise their

fnancial support in just

one year. Providencesupports them or

17% ($850 a month) o

their needed income,

and individuals rom

Providence support

them or another 22%.

We praise the Lord that

they have the prayer

and fnancial support

necessary to give

themselves devotedly to

the work and mission o

God.

We have also supported

two church plants over

the past two years Sola

Church in Centennial,

Colorado and Restore

Church in Detroit,Michigan. This year

Sola was able to bring

their pastor on ull-time

and they are doing well

fnancially, so we have

completed our fnancial

commitment to them.

They are averaging 85 in

attendance on Sunday

mornings at the 2-year

mark. We celebrate

this young and growing

ministry! Restore

Church is an inner-

city church much like

Providence where the

average income in the

neighborhood is $21,000a year. The core group

started two years ago,

began services on Easter

o 2012, and are now

averaging 100 people on

Sunday mornings with

our small groups. We

have decided to continue

their fnancial support

or another year as this

important Gospel work

gathers traction.

Gobeie Commit CeterLast year we made it a goal to reach

deeper into the Globeville neighborhood.

The frst three months o the year wererelatively silent, and nothing was hap-

pening. On March 22nd, the elders did

a prayer walk through Globeville, and it

came to our attention that there was an

empty church building in the neighbor-

hood. We prayed around it and asked or

Gods will to be done. The next morning

we received an email rom a communi-

ty partner telling us the city was going

to give that same building away to an

organization that would best beneft

the community. The city was asking or

proposals. This partner asked us i we

would partner with others to go ater the

building and we accepted. Our propos-al was submitted with eight others and,

praise the Lord, the city accepted ours

and awarded us the building. The Com-

munity Center will serve the community

in a holistic way, primarily working in the

area o education.

uptream ImpactWe have always desired to be a church

that modeled the 1st century church.

One passage that has captivated us isActs 4:34-35 which says, There was not

a needy person among them, or as many

as were owners o lands or houses sold

them and brought the proceeds o what

was sold and laid it at the apostles eet,

and it was distributed to each as any had

need. We believe that i the church is

being the church we can eliminate pov-

erty in our church. In January, we met

with Scott Miller the ounder o Circles,

a community approach to eliminating

poverty. We loved his model as it coin-

cided with our belie about the power o

human relationships to aect change.

We were instrumental in the ounding oa new non-proft called Upstream Im-

pact which is ocused on not just helping

people in poverty but in actually getting

them out o poverty. Two o our pas-

tors and all o our Fellows work in the

non-proft which has started working

with 28 amilies in our neighborhood.

Perhaps the

most powerul

aspect o the

Fellowship or

me has been the community o Chris-

tians living on mission together. For-

saking the American Dream, embrac-

ing diversity and loving my neighbors

alone would be scary, rustrating, and

difcult. But loving my neighbors withmy neighbors has been a beautiul,

transormative experience. I plan on

being amily with these people or the

rest o my lie.

nIKO aTHanaSIOU

Since I began The

Fellowship, Ive

been challenged

and pushed in

ways like never beore. My relationship

and walk with God have grown tre-

mendously, and my marriage has been

strengthened. I also love working with

the people in these neighborhoods andfnding new ways to be a help to them.

God is going to do a great work through

The Fellowship and I am so excited to

be a part o it.

JESSICa pRESlEY

The ellowship is

a program that

will stretch you

and will reveal to

you the holes in your relationship with

Christ. You will learn about Gods heart

or the poor, the broken, and how he

desires redemption not just at a spiri-

tual level. This program reveals the di-

erence between cookie-cutter Christi-anity, and what it truly means to ollow

Christ no matter what the obstacles

are. I have also learned the importance

congregation is in poverty and wants to get out, we have committed to do whatever it

takes to help them.

We partnered in helping to orm a new non-proft called Upstream Impact. Upstream

Impact was started with the desire to not just help amilies in poverty but to actually

change their condition by getting them out o poverty. We are currently working

with 28 amilies. In the 12-square mile area that makes up Northeast Denver, 4,400

amilies live below the poverty line. Our goal, in partnering with Upstream Impact, isto get 10% o the 4400 amilies in NE Denver out o poverty in 10 years.

FamilieS taking the leaDTe Circe moe oce o biig commit

poert. It taps low-income amilies to act as Circle Leaders

and shape their own path to sel-sufciency. Circle Leaders

build close relationships with their Allies, who provide a

key resource. They give the Circle Leader a stable support

system to help them succeed. Together each Circle takes a

journey to examine and overcome the barriers that keep

people in poverty. Its an amazing experience that ultimately transorms both Leader

and Ally and inspires a transormation within the community as well.

or Crit. This past year we had 110 participants come and do street level missions.

They ministered by running 3-day Bible club events and helping the elderly andamilies in the neighborhood with work around their homes and yards. They also

held community cook-outs to assist small groups in beginning relationships with

Gospel intentionality. The work that these teams do assists us in our desire to see

many come to know Christ and the power o His resurrections in their lives. Our

prayer is that 2013 will be the best year Mission Denver has had in both ministry

scale and impact as we see God utilize our ministry landscape to impact lives across

this country.
