Mission and the Urban Church

Good evening, dear people.

Today is my first day of classes. It has been wonderful!!!

The first class was "Mission and the Urban Church" by Dr. MaryAnn Hawkins.


Seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper. Jeremiah 29:7



Our focus will be on thinking about the city as a place for ministry. And how can we connect the urban, suburban and rural areas, so there will be equalization. Urbanization process is tightly connected to industrialization, health improvements and some other factors. The good thing that we want to see happening is the partenrship between the suburban and urban churches.
