MISSIONS
This month we are highlighting Richard Brown & The Captive Project!
The Captive Project Church & Ministries is a Christ-centered urban ministry based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Founded in 2007, the ministry began in response to community violence and a deep burden to bring the gospel directly to the streets. Over the years, The Captive Project has grown into a discipleship-driven ministry focused on biblical literacy, street-level evangelism, prison and reentry discipleship, and prayer-centered community renewal. Our mission is rooted in seeing lives transformed by the Word of God and restored through long-term, relational discipleship. Learn more about their ministry and how you can support them HERE.
