NYSUM is a short-term teaching and training center for Christians with a heart for urban ministry.  Through a combination of urban training, onsite practical ministry, and actually living in a city neighborhood, we aim to train you to reach people in cities around the world for Christ. The emphasis of our short-term missions programs is as follows: 

  1. Training: Our “hands on” urban training builds a template for practical application in the city. Our staff training team will lead you in city orientation, ministry site training, prep times, and debrief sessions where you ‘defuse’ your experiences to apply them in your hometown or city.
  2. Teaching: Our seminar style teaching sessions aim to train participants in many aspects of city ministry. This is accomplished through a combination of classroom and chapel training and in city outreaches which includes local ministries and churches.
  3. Touching: NYSUM emphasized meeting people on every level from Main Street to Back Street to Wall Street with a specialized focus on the poor. This involves a broad based selection of ministry sites and locations.
  4. Transforming: NYSUM links Christian workers to urban needs on the streets, in the AIDS Hospital, with the homeless, soup kitchens, shelter outreaches, street meetings, block parties and V.B.S. programs and with the forgotten. We remain committed to urban leaders who are “Heroes of Faith” serving in the trenches, battling the forces of darkness and desiring practical urban training that will help empower them to reclaim their City for Christ.
  5. Urban Internships:  Students integrate theory with practical “hands-on” urban ministry.  Seminaries, Christian Colleges, Bible School and Missionary organizations accept this one to eight-week urban training at NYSUM for their internships.  Classroom training from NYSUM staff and city pastors include evangelism, cross-cultural communication and much more.  Internships are tailored to meet the requirements of the respective school.
