Urban Ministry (UM) and ThreadStone Partner for Hope



ThreadStone and Urban Ministry (UM) have partnered together to share hope in Nigeria.

Urban Ministry (UM) is a non-governmental and not-for-profit organization founded in 1991. It started as a joint partnership between Christian Reformed Church North America (CRC-NA) and local churches. It currently is operating in four cities (states):
  • Jos
  • Lagos
  • Makurdi
  • Abuja
UM's mission is to bridge the poverty gap between rural and the urban dwellers by focusing on empowerment through access to credit facilities and enterprise development assistance. The following are the 4 core program initiatives:

  • Income Generation (micro finance)
  • Adult Literacy
  • Health education (nutrition, HIV/AIDS, etc)
  • Advocacy/Value formation
ThreadStone is excited to promote the cause of Urban Ministry - during shows and by volunteering in various UM projects! Support the cause through prayer and understanding the need for the various urban populations around the world.
