New York - September 11th, 2001

In a horrific and cowardly act of terrorism, our world was rocked and our nation’s sense of security was forever changed.  Safe Harbor responded immediately with a team on the ground within 48 hours of the attack in order to reach out to the city.  It was extremely difficult for the firefighters and police that had lost their co-workers to leave the pile of rubble that remained from the destruction of the buildings, and some would work for days without going home.  The Lord once again used Safe Harbor to minister to those affected by this tragic event:

• Provided the Respite Center at St. Joseph’s Chapel, located in Ground Zero, where we were able to show the love of Christ to the firefighters, police and their families, with food, tracts, computers, and a place of refuge that ministered to so many in Christ’s name.
• A candlelight prayer service for the firefighters and police at Ground Zero
• A prayer breakfast for the widows and orphans of those that lost their lives in the attacks
• Ongoing ministry for months following the attacks with short-term teams to come alongside the local churches in Manhattan
