Action, Reflection... Transformation!
For more than twenty years, Mile High Ministries has invited people from all walks of life to join God's transforming work on the margins of our communities. We are followers of Jesus from a variety of traditions, who value the holistic transformation — spiritual, social, economic — of both people and places.
Most of us have been drawn into this movement because we want to do something – we are people of action! We’ve put our shared values to work in the form of transitional housing, legal aid, small business development, leadership training, and other endeavors in lower-income urban neighborhoods.
Along the way, we’re learning that productive and lasting efforts come from a blend of action and reflection – pausing in the middle of our work for conversation, study, walking the streets and listening to our neighbors. Prayer is central to the life of MHM. So is theological reflection, which we try to do “from below” – informed by the voices of people too often ignored in our world or even our churches. And we are constantly seeking “best practices” in community development and empowerment with our poorest neighbors.
We’re convinced that this “dance” of action and reflection leads to transformation – perhaps for the communities where we serve, but certainly within our own lives. If transformation is what you’d like to experience, then I invite you to join us at Mile High Ministries!
