Dave & Joy Feldner
- Our mission is to serve and mobilize the Church to live out God's heart for the poor, so that all can grow in Christ and multiply spiritually. Everything we do involves reaching people in need, and seeing them enfolded into the local Body of Christ. We desire to see those who struggle with poverty moved from that feeling of hopelessness to a life of hope through Jesus Christ. The local inner-city church is the key to making this happen. As missionaries for Here's Life Inner City, we've been able to provide churches with resources, trainings and manpower, which have all had positive affects on families in the inner city.

Currently, they are pioneering a nationwide strategy to mobilize college seniors, recent college graduates, and twenty-somethings to further the Kingdom of God regardless of where they live, work, and play. The Pattons have two daughters–Caydence is 4 and Raquel is 2 1/2 years old.
