God’s transformative grace and making disciples in the NYC housing projects.

In all of these ministry contexts, Sarah has found that her skills in development and coaching are incredible tools in God’s hands for the work of multiplying disciplemakers—making Christ known and helping others do the same.

We’ve found it to be an epic way to experience, the city, bond as a team, and bring extraordinary prayer to the needs around us. In this way, we “seek the peace and prosperity of the city” (Jeremiah 29:7), while growing in our fifth core value of expectant faith and persevering prayer rooted in the promises of God. We also pray through Twelve City Ministry Memory Verses I’ve selected that include some of those promises and trace God’s heart for the city.

Afterschool Bible Clubs are not dependent on full-time Navigators staff which highlights the potential to reach more students as everyday disciplemakers are raised up through partnerships with churches and other missions.

Historically, the Black Church has thrived on the principles of discipleship. However, as churches grew in structure and institutionalism, the emphasis on relational discipleship often shifted to programmatic church models, where formal teaching replaced organic mentoring.
