The inner-city youth program largely sponsored by Zion Global Ministries (ZGM/AWANA) began in 2009. It was one-of-a kind in that it was located in Bond Hill at AMIS school and every Sunday provided a full course meal, clothes, and school supplies. The program ended May 2017 and thereafter consisted of field trips and food only. An altered youth Bible study program is schedule to re-emerge February 2021.
