Our world is changing. Masses of people are picking up their lives and moving into cities. The cities of the world are growing at a rate of 1.6 million a week. When we think of cities, we could think of dirty streets, crowds of people, endless sin, and little to no awareness of God’s presence. Yet, God’s heart is for the cities worldwide.

Finding God in the Chaos Our current world is in chaos. We are gripped with fear about a virus, running out of food, and the unknown. It would be easy to blend in and panic like everyone else. We could run away and shut ourselves in while the outside world suffers from anxiety, loneliness, and fear. Yet, God is calling…
A World Full of Distractions Our world is filled with distractions. When we wake up we hear the ding of a text message or the notification of a recent follower on Instagram. We don’t even bother to think about the God who gave us breath in our lungs. In this generation more than ever it’s too easy to forget about…
