Breaking Generational Poverty in Detroit

2023–2025 Mission Grant 31 — $58,988.62 (partial)

So many relationships are formed through the work of Camp Restore Detroit. Two little boys, one from the community and the other, a Lutheran from a different city, worshipping together. One is teaching the other about the use of the LCMS hymnal and enthusiastically sharing the love of Jesus with one another.

Camp Restore Detroit has been called to be a partner in breaking the cycle of generational poverty in Detroit by working with families and community leaders in a Christ-centered atmosphere, where families can learn and grow with access to education and needed resources. 

Camp Restore Detroit fills the Children’s Outreach House, Adult Outreach House, and the land surrounding it with programs and ministry aimed at sharing God’s love as they work together to restore hope, support health and wellness, raise the educational levels of children and adults, and support vocational skill building in a Christ-centered environment. 

This grant will fund furnishings for both houses, tools for learning including Bibles, SMARTboards, and computers. Additionally, a Maker’s Space and a Storybook Learning and Reading Garden for community members and their children will be created.
