Being Hands And Feet In Lancaster
What’s Happening During Hempfield’s Homecoming Week?
BY ANN MEAD ASH
Kim Zimmerman, who founded City Gate with her husband, Brian, noted that although the ministry’s locations - Lancaster, Lititz, Ephrata, and Columbia - are all decorated to resemble comfortable living rooms or coffee shops, with books, coffee, and water available, each City Gate location has developed its own personality, with some being more business minded and others being partnership focused. The Zimmermans first envisioned City Gate in Lancaster city in 2006. The pair was training in a prayer ministry, and they felt a call from God to use what they were learning outside the church walls. In 2007, they rented a basement room in a former Lancaster hotel. “We started meeting with the homeless community,” said Zimmerman. “Every Friday night, we had three or four hours of just prayer and worship, and we were seeing amazing things happen. We were connecting with the community.” See City Gate pg 3
