Jesus of Nazareth Compassion Ministries

THE MISSION STATEMENT for Jesus of Nazareth (J.o.N.) Compassion Ministries is:

To Grace the Body of Christ with Opportunities to Evangelize the Hurting via Compassion Ministries and Love Them into the Church.

J.o.N. Compassion Ministries was conceived from the desire to reach hurting people with the unbelievably good news of the Gospel: It was born on August 24, 2008, at the worst momento of the most difficult recession since the Great Depression. Penniless and without a single donation for the first 2 months this ministry would have perished if not for God's faithfulness. On Saturday, November 1, 2008 this ministry was consecrated to the glory of God and His blessings began to stream forth.WHO DO WE SERVE?We serve the Denver Westwood Neighborhood, sometimes referred to as the "forgotten city". Our community has according to the 2010 US Census:
