One billion people live in urban poverty.

In the next 30 years, an additional 2 billion more people will move into urban poor communities, which is 183,000 people per day (United Nations Statistics Division). The migration of people from rural poverty into urban centers is one of the most profound trends impacting mission in our time. The Holy Spirit is moving amid this global phenomena to create communities of Jesus followers who are agents of transformation within these marginalized areas.

OUR VISION

We are partners in God’s purposes for the world and eternity.

In partnership, we are called into deep personal relationships that require us to embrace humility and servanthood, as well as a commitment to work through conflict. We are challenged to always seek to see the good in the other and to pursue the same mindset, which includes both having the mind of Christ in his self-sacrificing nature, and having the same missional goal to see his Kingdom established in the world. We expect the Lord to continually add new partners to our community.
