Amplify Conference

Hollis is a young woman whom I met at my local church. She’s a theatre artist and educator, extremely gifted, and thanks to social media I get to keep up with the great exploits of her life. We met this winter to talk through some challenges she faced and I reminded her of a hashtag she frequently mentions in her posts: #HollisWasHere. I invited her in that moment to change the way she saw the problem she experienced as an actual opportunity to create a solution that would change the culture of that place. Opportunity for her to leave a lasting mark there, opportunity to say, #HollisWasHere.

In reimagining our neighbors and neighborhoods the same mindset applies. We are called to leave a lasting impression which exclaims, #TheChurchWasHere.

Rev. Javier Garcia’s Call to Action

Setting priorities and fulfilling those priorities are essential if we’re serious about sharing the Gospel and expanding Christian communities in cities around the world, says Rev. Javier Garcia, Director of Agape Europe based in Barcelona.

Quoting scripture, a range of philosophers and thoughts gleaned from decades of worldwide ministry, Rev. Garcia shared his message of inclusiveness and practicality with an enthralled audience at 2016’s Movement Day Global Cities.

MD Africa & MD Australia

On Tuesday June 20th we received two important announcements. One announcement came from Africa with a roster of 35 emerging cities being invited to participate in Movement Day Africa in 2018 in Nairobi. The expectation is that contextualized expressions of Movement Day across the African continent will take place in coming years.

Movement Day Athens: Spreading the Gospel in the Cradle of Democracy

I travelled to Athens the week of May 29, 2016 with my wife Marya. NYC pastor and evangelist Tom Mahairas hosted us. The inception of the trip took place after Greek Church leaders attended Movement Day Global Cities in October 2016.

Movement Day Discussions in Wroclaw & Doncaster

In late May, I was invited to meet with Edward Pawlowski and key stakeholders in Wroclaw, Poland. Edward, who attended Movement Day Global Cities, has been instrumental in convening city leaders from his region, sharing his heart and passion for gospel movement.
