NET News Statewide: Perspective - City Impact, 11/2/01

When you hear the word "missionary," you probably think of someone who travels to another country to help the poor. Someone who spreads a message of faith while teaching in a school, or caring for the sick. "Statewide's" Brad Penner reports on with missionaries who didn't have to travel far to serve people in need. They are urban missionaries, who work for an organization called City Impact. The area they serve is statistically the poorest part of Lincoln - household income is half or less of what it is in the rest of the city.
