North Littleton Promise
Executive Director: Maureen Shannon
At risk kids do not only live in urban Denver or Aurora. Some live right next to us in suburban Littleton.
In the northeast part of Littleton, families are struggling to make it. Parents work two or three jobs and have little time or energy to give their children the opportunities most of us take for granted.
North Littleton Promise is providing a ray of hope for the kids in the Promise Park neighborhood. We work with the local community to offer various programs to help build character, academic potential and life-skill development. Get involved by clicking below.

Encountering the World of Islam (EWI) helps Christians around the world understand Islam and foster positive relationships with Muslims. Islam is considered by some to be the greatest challenge for Christians today. Sadly, Christians rarely reach out to Muslims – leaving 85% of Muslims without knowing a single follower of Christ who can share the hope of the gospel with them. Some feel Muslims are difficult to reach with the gospel, and others simply don't know how to share with their Muslim neighbors. Yet Muslims revere Jesus, and more Muslims have become his followers in the last 30 years than in the previous 1250 years!
EWI can help break down these barriers, empowering Christians to build friendships with Muslims, show compassion for their needs, and respectfully express faith in Christ. Anyone who wants to gain a broad Christian perspective on today's world should consider EWI!
Muslims in Southeast Asia
On the Indian Ocean in SE Asia lies a poor province that is home to more than two million unreached Muslims in seven different people groups. Perhaps one of these groups has a significant church planting effort at work among them but the others remain isolated from the church and almost untouched by the gospel. Our project in this region is seeking to build a business that would allow foreign and national workers with a heart to reach out to the Muslims there access to coastal villages. They would offer opportunities for economic development, business and character training, and learning to operate using sustainable practices as they seek long-term business relationships with villagers, and in the process have opportunities to share life and faith with local people.
Our partners building this project have experience working in this particular context and are looking to build a team of several families to work on this project and work toward a church-planting movement begin among several of the local people groups. They already have a a number of national partners who share their vision and commitment to the region and have built a foundation for an agri-business producing a native product for export to Asian markets. They are also founding members of LCC and partners with both EPC World Outreach and Pioneers.

GraceFull Community Cafe
A Cafe with a Mission
Since May 2016, GraceFull Community Cafe and its partner 501(c)(3) non-profit Foundation have provided a home in the Littleton community where people of all backgrounds can gather, eat well and be inspired to give back.
We are located in Historic Downtown Littleton and open 7 am – 2 pm Tuesday through Saturday. We are unique in that we are a craft coffee shop with a full kitchen with all food made fresh on site. We offer craft coffee, breakfast and lunch daily.
We believe that names are important; that each person has an unique story and gift to offer this world and that every person should have access to one good meal a day. That is why paying is always optional, as is paying extra to help provide a meal for someone else. So come and join us in whatever way makes sense for you –share a cup of coffee with a good meal, volunteer with us, but most importantly, experience community.
