Easter Idea Starter: Reach Inner-City Kids

Teaching children about the Easter message isn’t exactly an easy task, but one ministry has simplified the approach, handing out bags filled with toys, candy, fruit, activity books and, most important, the Gospel message. Children are accepting Christ thanks to the bags, an initiative of Here’s Life Inner City. The urban ministry of Cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ), Here’s Life Inner City partners with local churches to distribute thousands of Easter bags each year to reach inner-city children.
