Last week CTC staff and leaders from across the globe gathered in Amsterdam for three days of meetings at the annual Global Leadership Team Meeting. These leaders help to pray, cast vision, plan strategy and inform how CTC engages in cities and regions across the world. We’re excited about the mutual learning that happens at these meetings and the true friendship and partnerships that continue to grow from this time.

Gospel movement is happening all over the world. City to City’s vision is to see these movements transform the principal cities of the world so that they may be filled with the glory of the Lord. The task is big. Will you join us?

One church working in the city for the common good is a beautiful thing. Several churches working together is even better.

Leaders from Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo, Manila, Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Sydney, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Dubai gathered this summer for the fifth City to City Asia/Pacific Intensive. Link in bio for a recap of the event

"The Integration of faith and work means to take Jesus Christ and make him the Lord of your work. The church's job is to disciple people to change the world. The people's job is to go out and do it." -@timkellernyc with @dhkim17 at last week's #CityLabs hosted by @redeemercfw and @redeemerctc

Not every Christian is called to live in a city, but everyone can help love, bless, and rebuild the city in some way. Learn more about partnering with CTC at redeemercitytocity.com/give (link also in bio).

Struggle to connect worship on Sunday with workplace realities on Monday? We’re partnering with Center for Faith & Work and starting a new City Lab series this Thursday titled, “Faith and Work: From Vision to Implementation.” The series will include teaching from Tim Keller and CFW Executive Director, David H. Kim, and you can watch it via Livestream tomorrow at 2 p.m. (link in bio).

Last Friday, we celebrated the first RTS NYC Graduation! The commencement address was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Ligon Duncan III. His words to the new graduates: "We are not called to worship ministry but to worship God. How do we prevent worshipping our ministry? View our ministry as worship to the Triune God. He is our first and most and best. Whatever the Lord calls you to do, view it as worship."

To be a church planter is to be a risk taker. It’s to study the city, learn the context and respond appropriately to the needs.
