The Whole Armor of God

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over present darkness, against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6 10- 12)

Each day wake up understanding that we have an enemy after us. But there is no reason to fear! God has given us a spirit of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Our fight is not with each other but with the rulers in dark places. You can only fight this fight with the word of God. Stand strong and trust in the Lord. Speak the promises of God over your life.

Who We Are

Greetings from the Mission Field of NYC, “The Most International City in the World.” Founded in 1984, the New York School of Urban Ministry (NYSUM) hosts, trains, and deploys over 5,000 youth and adults for urban ministry each year by partnering with inner city pastors and churches in New York City.

In addition to providing practical urban classroom teaching and training,NYSUM provides accommodations and home-style meals for small and large groups at our 70,000 square foot training facility. NYSUM’s staff equips students from Colleges, Seminaries, Bible Schools, Youth Groups, and Church Groups.

Our students learn about inner-city ministry at the grassroots through diverse, cross-cultural, “hands-on” outreaches to Muslims, Jews, the homeless, abused women, the disabled, terminally ill, and those victimized by natural disasters. Outreaches take place via street meetings, soup kitchens, rescue missions, city shelters, rehab centers, and more. 

On behalf of my wife and I and our staff, we invite you and your ministry to share together in the life-changing NYSUM Experience in New York City.
