(Pastor Rick Preaching Circa 1982)

“Jesus Loves You New York” is an evangelistic ministry that has reached thousands of people in New York’s Inner City. It began when Pastor Rick obtained a truck. He converted it into a rolling stage and painted the words “Jesus Loves You New York” on its side. He did this because of a vision he had. An anointed evangelist Pastor Rick reached into the worst neighborhoods in New York City with this unconditional message. He took his wife and children on these outreaches. With faith in God’s word he applied the scripture to both life and ministry: verse Romans 5:20, “Where sin abounds, grace does much more abound”.

Today “Jesus Loves You New York” is held annually, every second week of July, in Manhattan’s Lower East Side. Missionaries come from all over the country to partake in this exciting week of community outreach. Events include basketball tournaments, children’s games, dramas, and dancing. Friendship and Matthew 25 Ministry occurs daily. Simply put, we try to love our neighbor the way Jesus loved us. If you would like to join this outreach in New York City please call or email us.
