Cities Project Global

What happens when there’s a movement of God throughout cities around the world supported by leaders acting in unity for the well-being and flourishing of their city? We began asking questions like that when we first came together. Our vision is to mobilize the entire body of Christ. Awakening leaders to live out their God-given design and purpose, utilizing all of who they are to renew their city to flourish as God intended. A few years ago we hired Barna Research to help us understand where people work and what they know about Jesus. We discovered that only 1% of Christians work in the religion sphere. Cities Project Global seeks to also mobilize the other 99% of all Christians whose workplace is in other spheres: government, education, art & entertainment, science, and more. This mobilization goes beyond simply equipping people to do what religion sphere workers typically do. Cities Project Global equips leaders to live an integrated life where Jesus is a part of all of their behavior and seasoned with winsome speech. Far too often, leaders working outside the church have been utilized only for the kingdom work done by the local church, which often overlooks the myriad of other purposes God has designed for His people. We challenge leaders to discover all that God has for each of them “that He prepared beforehand” (Ephesians 2:10). Cities Project Global enables leaders within a city to come together with peers to cause their city to be lifted up, just as it says in Proverbs 11:11: “By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted.” When the entire city is lifted up through workplace leaders living an integrated life, it both introduces many people to Christ and supports human flourishing in all its many aspects.
