Cities

What if your city could become a catalyst for global gospel impact?
This Lausanne Global Classroom series explores why cities matter in God’s mission, unpacking a biblical theology of the city, the realities of global urbanization, and the challenges and opportunities of urban mission.
It highlights the need for collaboration, prayer, and raising leaders to faithfully engage and serve cities for the sake of the gospel.
Brent Burdick’s accompanying article, Cities: Accelerating the Gospel Where the World Lives, offers a compelling introduction to the Cities network, unpacking its biblical vision and practical impact in advancing God’s kingdom worldwide.
This article explores why cities are central to God’s mission, showing how urbanisation creates strategic opportunities for gospel impact as churches collaborate, love their cities, and multiply disciples to see transformation spread globally.
See how God is using cities to transform people and nations — watch, read, and be inspired.
