The Sparrows' Nest Ministries, Inc. was established as a safe haven for children in crisis. It is an outreach and prevention ministry with a mission to provide shelter and counseling to low-income children, who are at-risk of out of home placement due to abandonment, neglect and abuse. Although it began with a simple desire to help children, TSN Ministries is now an established non-profit organization active in the community with a full time Executive Director, Assistant Director, volunteer staff, Board of Directors, and countless families whose lives have been changed for the better!

In collaboration with:

Bowie Wal-Mart, Maryland Healthy Teens, Trinidad Baptist Church (Washington, DC), Woodstream Church (Mitchellville), Community Ministry of Prince George’s County, New Testament Bible Church, (Louisiana), Doctor’s Community Hospital (Lanham),

1,884 people in the Washington metropolitan area, New Orleans, LA, North Carolina, India, Canada, and Nigeria were assisted. Over 70 victims of Hurricane Katrina were provided assistance. 1,001 homeless men and women have been provided meals, toiletries, and clothing. 848 families were helped through the Community Care program with food, school supplies, summer school tuition, clothing and household items. Specifically, 24 children (newborn to adolescents) have received personal housing and care.

In addition to the children and families we have been humbled to serve, TSN Ministries can now boast of securing a confident accounting firm (Balsamo, Stuart, Lutters and Ruth), and completed a virtual DVD of the Olde Towne Community with the professional services of 2 Visualize in Richmond, VA. They also completed a marketing analysis (Cadence Marketing) of their target area and were awarded a block grant from the Prince George’s County’s Department of Housing and Community Development division., Their first child they cared for is now a web developer in Baltimore!

TSN Ministries is presently operating a mentor program out of a resource center in Dodge Park (Landover, MD), offered to them through the benevolence of a local apartment complex.  In addition, they held their first two Board and Staff retreats in Virginia Beach, VA (Founders’ Inn) in 2006 and 2007 and hosted the Building Blocks for Success Conference in Bowie, MD (Comfort Inn and Conference Center) in 2008.

Just think of what we've been able to accomplish…and what we can do in the future with your partnership!
