Our Mission

New Day Ministries, Inc.

is a 501(c)(3) Christian, faith-based organization that exist for the purpose of addressing the destructive nature of Communities blighted by poverty, crime, gangs, and broken families with a goal of providing Vision and means of transforming these Communities into places of hope and opportunity.
New Day Ministries, Inc. Engages, Educates, Enriches, & Empowers Louisville's youth & young adults to reach their highest potential and achieve more in school, work, and life while living and being more positive, productive citizens!

WHO WE SERVE

New Day Ministries is committed to helping disadvantaged, low-income, and at-risk youth, ages eight to eighteen, and young adults, ages nineteen to twenty-four, from metro-Louisville, particularly those from the poorer neighborhoods on the west side who are at higher risk of participating in or being affected by gang activity, youth violence, juvenile delinquency or engagement with the juvenile justice system, have an incarcerated parent, have or are at risk of dropping out of high school, and/or have been challenged by growing up in a household below the poverty threshold.

WHY WE EXIST

New Day Ministries recognizes and seeks to address the unique and unusual challenges faced by today’s youth, especially those from west Louisville, who are:

  • 9 x more likely to drop out of school
  • 5 x more likely to have a parent or sibling incarcerated or involved in the criminal justice system
  • 3 x more likely to be exposed to or involved in gang activity
  • 2 x more likely to have witnessed, been exposed to or been a victim of violence
  • 2 x more likely to live in poverty
  • 2 x likely to live 5 to 12 years fewer than their peers

Our goal at New Day Ministries is to ensure the young people of Louisville have a safe place (be it in their home, their neighborhood, or their community) and the opportunity to rise above these negative influences and reach their fullest potential. We believe mentoring and modeling positive attitudes and actions coupled with learning and leadership opportunities that engage, educate, enrich, and empower young people in the process is the key to achieving this goal.

What We Do

New Day Ministries emphasizes people and programs that promote safer, healthier thriving communities. New Day provides low-income, disadvantaged, and at-risk youth and young adults access to caring, committed men and women who have grown up in or survived similar challenging backgrounds to become successful, resilient adults. Our programs equip and empower these same young people to go on to create their own successful lives. Our 4-E Approach is a multi-faceted and focused effort at preventing youth violence, intervening and improving youth growth and development, and reclaiming young people who otherwise might end up trapped in the juvenile justice system.

New Day Ministries’ Programs consist of 4 main components.

“There has NEVER been a person that I’ve met in my entire life (and I’ve met a lot) that has such a total devotion, an absoluteness and selflessness towards God and towards people. [Tod is] the most caring, loving, charismatic, devoted, soldier of God that I have ever seen...”

Brian Webster

“Tod is a man of God doing an awesome outreach in God's Kingdom; Lisa and I are excited to be connected with him and looking forward to the upcoming work in downtown Louisville.”

“Tod Moore Baker speaker broke generational sin in his family to come out of drugs, murder and prison to become a minister to Park Hill. Amazing testimony! Praise the Lord for this mans life and where he is going!”

Jason Richardson

“...your story has and is still affecting people all around the city and world for the Kingdom Of God today (not that I think you need to be reminded, you seemed pretty on fire for the Lord when I met you). You will definitely be in my prayers.”

“It has been my privilege to know Tod since 2015 through an indepth Disciple Program at Kentucky State Reformatory. His desire to mentor other inmates defined his heart for deliverance and wholeness. My life-long calling is to see people SET FREE from sin in its various expressions - whether drugs, crime, greed, or any other destructive behavior. I saw a CHAMPION in Tod as being someone who can and will make a difference in Communities dominated by the drug culture. I am honored to partner with Tod and New Day Ministries to further the impact of his message. ”

“...I didn't have anything in my house because I would work make money and send to my wife and 2 kids back in Haiti. The day Tod and New Day Ministries showed up with my furniture I couldn't believe that there were people like this anymore. They brought the furniture in, set it up, prayed with me and let me know they would return... I went back to Haiti on December 21 and gave Tod a key as he wanted to deliver some things to my apartment while I was away. On Christmas Eve I returned to Louisville with family and when we got to our apartment we walked in and were totally shocked at what Christ Jesus had done through Tod because now we had a home filled with furniture, food, baby bed for my 7 year old son and my 7 month old son, a Christmas Tree with presents under it, dishes to cook in and eat on, and a refrigerator full of food. I immediately called Tod to thank him as my wife and kids were screaming in the background and I remember Tod saying, "No problem Leslie the Lord has blessed you shared it with others, we are family in Christ." Before I met Tod and New Day Ministries my apartment was totally empty and my refrigerator. Now we have a home to call our own...”

“Tod authentically lives out a life redeemed by the Blood of Jesus the Christ by positively leading & influencing our West Louisville’s youth to NOT follow in his footsteps, or glamorize his destructive life choices that led to his incarceration. Shortly after Tod’s release, my husband & I heard him speak to a group of at risk boys. We saw his unique ability to connect to the youth & give them a revised focus & direction. [He] boldly speaks Truth to our youth to encourage them to become productive & godly members of society...”

“...I am currently deployed in Jordan where I read your memoir, and man it moved me to tears! As I was reading it I related to some of your childhood, but more so, you reminded me of my dad who passed away in 2006. My dad lived the street lifestyle where he eventually got in trouble with the law and sent to prison where he died of a heart attack; thank the Lord it was that and nothing something else. I'm not sure where my dad was in his faith, but your story of how God has saved and changed you has encouraged me to be more of a Light in the world wherever I am at...”

Your brother in Christ, Cedrick Jones

“...Through prayer Tod has lifted me up to see that God wants whats best for me and I am able to work with Christ to be the person I needed to be. I have mental issues and was an addict before I spoke with Tod. I am a recovering addict and have gotten myself on the right medicine to help with my mental problems and am living the best life and I owe it to the Lord and Tod for helping me through my drama and negative ways...”
