A Ministry House to Reach Inner City Kids

Remember when you were young and you had a bad day?  You couldn’t wait to get home and the safe confines of the four walls that surrounded you!  That’s a feeling that we should all have, but Joe Eriquez of Heart for the City knows a lot of kids that never get to experience that feeling.  That’s why he diligently sought a house that he could make safe for the youth in the Inner City of Glendale, Arizona.  That’s why he now diligently seeks YOUR help in making that house all that it can be.

“We have a vision,” Joe explained, “where   this house will not only be a center for socializing, but, and more   importantly, a place where learning can take place.  Our greatest need   in this realm is computers.  With an extensive computer lab we can help   kids with their homework, and help them go online and search for Grants   so they can realize their dream of getting a higher education.  We can   give them an opportunity to learn, and improve, their computer skills – -   a marketable skill that is quickly becoming a requirement when seeking   gainful employment.”

What he needs the most,   however, is volunteers.  People who will dedicate themselves to being   trained to minister to young people and train them – - to be part of the   21st Century, to improve family life for their   children, and to become part of the Kingdom of God!  Don’t delay -   -don’t even hesitate, contact Heart for the City to see how you   can help make this truly a Ministry House!

Heart for the City

HFC-Photo-group

Mission Statement

Heart for the City is a non-profit organization. HFTC is committed to the physical, emotional and spiritual well-being of the children and poor families of the inner-city communities. Special emphasis is placed on low-income neighborhoods of Glendale Mission by creating innovative solutions to the difficult social problems that poor families face daily.

Mission Overview

For 30 years the message of hope has gone out to the at risk youth and their families of urban Glendale Mission through Young Life and Heart for the City . Our mission is holistic among the at risk youth and their families. Our plan is to increase community development through raising indigenous leaders.

Need for a new kind of leadership in the inner-cities

There is a need for a new kind of leadership in the inner cities – a need for men and women who are teaching and demonstrating by example the kind of character and values that bring purpose to life and positive direction to children, teens and families.

The need for role models

Inner-city children, teens and families need role models from their own ethnic background, who have experienced similar situations, and who can give them hope, motivation, and courage to live for something above and beyond the lure of a life of crime or dependency. The ethnic urban leader who will have the greatest positive influence in his/her own community is the person who is a healthy role model – both morally and spiritually – and who will “roll up his/her sleeves” and become personally involved in the lives of those around them.

Our Goal

Our goal is to enhance and develop personal, family and business relationships. To strengthen the spiritual foundation upon which men and women can build as they make a positive impact in their communities and families. Positive programs include:

Mentoring	Tutoring	Food/Clothing Bank
GED Classes	Computer Classes	Job Development

This vision is about building and rebuilding lives. In order for true and lasting change to occur in our communities, we must begin to rebuild positive value systems by assisting individuals and families in regaining a purpose in life. Solving problems in our communities must begin with the individual. Sound character, constructive attitudes, and traditional value systems need to be established one by one. Mentoring teens is an important part of this ministry to AZ poor families.
