Vision
Sun Ministries unites people to serve the world
Mission
Sun Ministries is compelled by the love of Christ to help people work together in service to meet the physical, spiritual, educational, and emotional needs of their community, the poor, the homeless, widows, and orphans both locally and around the world.
Sun Ministries is a Non-Profit 501(c)3 organization. Sun Ministries was founded in 2006 with the goal of helping to promote and facilitate a cooperative work effort among people and churches. The word “Sun” here is the Greek word sun {soon}. The word means “with” and denotes a union or companion that would come alongside. The purpose of Sun Ministries is to come along side the people and ministries that wish to make a difference in the world.
The Isaiah 61 Initiative
Sun Ministries is launching a nationwide effort to rebuild America's most devastated inner cities. Starting in North St. Louis Missouri, we plan to facilitate a missionary call to the most destroyed areas of our country. This aggressive initiative will use all of our existing programs in a synergistic way to solve problems that have plagued these areas for generations. By training and relocating young missionaries to live and work in these areas we will rebuild the decaying structures, minister to the neediest residents and make a generational impact on these desperate areas. Keep watching for more information on what we hope will be the largest missionary movement in the history of our country.
What We do
Isaiah 61 Initiative - Working together in America's inner cities
- The Isaiah 61 Initiative seeks to call missionaries to the inner cities of America. Sun Ministries is facilitating a missionary movement to America. We are working with a growing group of ministries and people that see the plight of Americas urban areas. The Isaiah 61 Initiative is bringing innovative ideas to age old problems. The approach combines three distinct efforts into one larger work.
The Opportunity Center - Working together to empower people
- The Opportunity Center will house the Mission Store, a Coffee & Ice Cream Shop, a Retail and Small Business incubator, and a Training Area. The Opportunity Center will bring educational and business opportunity assistance to the inner city of North St. Louis. It will utilize these resources for job training, remedial education and tutoring, small business development, and income support for widows, orphans, the poor and the missionaries to America that are dedicated to working with them.
The Leadership Center - Working together to train tomorrows leaders
- The Leadership Center will focus on training young leaders in non-traditional approaches to long standing problems. The Leadership Center will approach this through a traveling internship where the intern can enter into a culturally diverse serving environment for a summer. Interns can then tackle tougher challenges by spending a summer in the inner city developing and implementing their ideas to address real problems in a real life environment. The Leadership Center will provide ongoing support to creative and innovative ideas that have the potential to make a generational impact in the poorest areas of America.
Narrow Gate - Working together to end homelessness
- The Narrow Gate is the most ambitious project we have ever launched. The Narrow Gate seeks to address the issue of homelessness from a spiritual, physical, and emotional approach. By offering discipleship, employment, housing, and coaching, we seek to end homelessness one person at a time.
