Kingdom Causes Strategy:
When we work in our local cities we operate with the posture of a learner. Rather than implementing some pre-determined key steps or programs for community transformation, our desire to INSPIRE, CONNECT and MOBILIZE God's people locally has us asking 5 key questions:
1) Are people praying?
2) How are the stories of Hope and Transformation being told?
3) Where are the Christians in the city getting together to talk about utilizing
their unique gifts and abilities in seeking the welfare of their city?
4) Where and how does the city gather to address key community concerns?
5) What information, opportunities and strategic conversations are happening
locally around focused causes of the Kingdom?
These questions guide all of our activities. When we find answers to these questions we help get the word out. When we find people who are also seeking to find the answers to these questions we partner with them. When we find that there is nothing happening along these lines we help to catalyze it. The key factor for us is to let the local context dictate what steps or actions are best for them to take. We them help them determine what resources need to be leveraged in order to move things forward in a positive direction.
Our mission to INSPIRE, CONNECT and MOBILIZE people for personal and communtiy transformation can be categorized as follows:
Inspire...
|
|
We call people to pray for their city! We believe that the greatest source of inspiration comes from on high. We encourage people to pray the prayer that Jesus taught by saying "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth (my city!) as it is in heaven." |
|

Stories are powerful! We encourage people to look for what God is doing and to tell others about it. We do our best to help share these signs/stories of hope via this web site, at local gatherings of various kinds and through our organizational publications. |
...Connect

We work to build relational bridges and trust |
