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:
Leadership Team Membership
Regional Coordinators
Leaders of Sub-Networks
Council of Advisors
Team Leadership
Functions of the Leadership Team
Global - Southern Baptist Convention??
Adopt-A-City Profiles ??
Work-Among Analysis for every city??
In-City Research
