Reed’s Story

When we visited Colorado, we met a young man named Reed. He’s seventeen, born and raised in Colorado and ready to take on the world. He has big dreams of going off to college somewhere, getting a degree, and then coming back home to Colorado to work and to start a family. But Reed has something in common with over half of the people in Colorado. He doesn’t go to church.

He went to a church for the first time on Christmas Eve, but still does not understand how much Jesus loves and forgives him. The Denver Metro and Front Range are filled with about one million people just like Reed: real people longing for a real life and ready to make a real difference. That’s what the Mile High Project is all about: making a real difference in the life of Reed and the thousands of people like him.
