Kingdom Causes

Kingdom Causes Strategy

When we work in our local cities we operate with the posture of a learner.  Rather than implementing some pre-determined key steps or programs for community transformation, our desire to inspire, connect, and mobilize God's people locally has us asking 5 key questions:

  1. Are people praying?
  2. How are the stories of Hope and Transformation being told?
  3. Where are the Christians in the city getting together to talk about utilizing their unique gifts and abilities in seeking the welfare of their city?
  4. Where and how does the city gather to address key community concerns?
  5. What information, opportunities and strategic conversations are happening locally around focused causes of the Kingdom? 

These questions guide all of our activities.  When we find answers to these questions we help get the word out.  When we find people who are also seeking to find the answers to these questions we partner with them.  When we find that there is nothing happening along these lines we help to catalyze it.  The key factor for us is to let the local context dictate what steps or actions are best for them to take.  We them help them determine what resources need to be leveraged in order to move things forward in a positive direction.       

Our mission to inspire, connect, and mobilize people for personal and communtiy transformation can be categorized as follows: 

     Inspire

We hope to inspire people by calling them to pray for their city!  We believe that the greatest source of inspiration comes from on high.  We encourage people to pray the prayer that Jesus taught by saying "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth (my city!) as it is in heaven."

Read our city blog or share a story!

Stories are powerful!  We encourage people to look for what God is doing and to tell others about it.  We do our best to help share these signs/stories of hope via this web site, at local gatherings of various kinds and through our organizational publications.

Connect    

We work to build relational bridges and trust
among Christians in a city.  We desire to bring together those in similar spheres of influence (vocation, community role, etc...) in order that they might spur one another on to love and good deeds.

We look to identify where key conversations are happening city wide.  We want to help people engage in strategic dialogue as a community stakeholder.  It is here where strengths may be built upon, resources shared, and key information disseminated.
