Planning From the Global
Congress Cities Network
In May 1995, 250 city leaders met together as part of the
4500 attending the AD2000 Global Congress on World Evangelization. The
following were our goals:
Through a two day process of mutual instruction, sharing
ministry models and waiting on God, participants in the Cities Network Track
it is our hope as a network Leadership team that participants will leave
GCOWE:
1. Committed to establishing a church for every people
and the gospel for every person in the least evangelized cities of the world
(Population more than 100,000 and less than 3% evangelical) with particular
focus on the 10/40 window.
2. Inspired and motivated with a vision of the Kingdom of
God and the core values necessary to make it a growing reality in the cities
of man.
3. For those so called, having defined commitments to
other city leaders as members of :
a. regional inter-city networks
b. in - city Leadership teams
4. With a clear sense of the next steps to take in their
city and region.
5. With ownership of global, regional and national
planning goals in regard to cities for the next phase of the cities movement
(1995-2000 A.D.).
Network Methodology
The methodology of the network is not based on any single
model that should be imported to each city (e.g. evangelistic crusade or
prayer evangelism or Jesus Film but is based on the wise integration of
multiple models. The role of the network in enabling such an approach
involves:
w Consultations
