Heartland Presbytery Youth Mission Day, Monday July 16, 3:15-8:00 p.m. The Micah Ministry has become the largest urban mission of the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, in the largest Christian Church Region of the US. They strive to keep guests from standing in lines to receive ministries, as they often do with other services. Typically, they hand out about 1,500 items of children’s and adult clothing. Micah also includes an open-adoption referral program, AA, and pastoral counseling. Nearly 46,000 plates of supper were served in 2015!
