What Is a Gospel Movement?

A Gospel Movement is a transformative force that mobilizes leaders, unites believers, and ignites spiritual and cultural renewal through the power of the Gospel. Anchored in prayer and strategic action, it catalyzes discipleship and drives lasting, gospel-centered impact in communities worldwide.

Since its inception, ACTMOV has made the following compelling observations

India’s rich cultural diversity and deeply rooted traditions present both challenges and opportunities for contextualizing the Gospel while maintaining its transformative essence.

A growing number of young and dynamic leaders are taking initiative, integrating faith with societal needs, and fostering innovative approaches to community transformation.

Collaborative efforts are gaining momentum as churches, marketplace leaders, and organizations prioritize unity in purpose despite denominational and cultural differences.

Prayer plays a central role in these movements, creating spiritual breakthroughs and fostering reliance on God for lasting impact.

Gospel Movements harness the church’s full potential to drive citywide change, addressing societal challenges through faith in action.

01

PRAYER

Churches, marketplace, and non-profit leaders need to be invited into a common spiritual experience for their city. This is the foundation of movements over the past 10 years. Cities like Chennai, Siliguri, Sikkim, Kolkata etc. are continue to have an expression of Prayer Summits. Monthly, weekly and daily prayers are also being expressed by various cities.


02

RESEARCH

Whether it’s as basic as online population, employment, academic performance and immigration research, or as sophisticated as hiring professionals to gather detailed and granular research on a community, city or region, good research compels action.





03

LEADERSHIP

It is vital to provide training for gospel movement practitioners. While city leaders are passionate and effective mobilizers, they sometimes are limited on the needed organisational capacity for moving beyond the ‘awareness and spiritual discipline’ phase to become more effective at envisioning and skillfully deploying leaders around areas of common passion.

04

OUTCOMES

The outcome described as per Isaiah 65:17-25 envisions a new creation where God's presence is evident in the midst of His people. It portrays a city where there is no more weeping or crying, where children live in safety and prosperity, and where people enjoy the fruits of their labor. This vision depicts a community where God's justice reigns, where the wolf and the lamb graze together, symbolizing harmony and peace. In the context of the City Gospel Movement, this outcome signifies the transformation of cities into places of divine blessing, where the principles of God's kingdom are realized in tangible ways, bringing hope, healing, and restoration to all.

What Matters

G

GODS TRUTH

Jesus lived the life we are meant to live and died the death we deserved. His life and death are essential for hope in this world. It is urgent that people all around the world be given the life-renewing opportunity to live the Jesus-life now and for eternity.

U

UNITY OF GOD'S PEOPLE

Less than twenty-four hours before His crucifixion, documented in John 17, Jesus prayed His climactic prayer that all His followers would be one. The unity of the church across denominational, racial, generational, and geographic lines is the best evidence of God’s love to an unbelieving world. Division in the church breeds atheism in the world — unity releases the aroma of belief.

C

CITIES

The number of Christians exploded at a rate of 80,000% in the 300 years between AD 30 (Christ’s Ascension) and AD 312 (Conversion of Constantine), rising from 25,000 to 20 million. The growth took place in the strategic cities of the Roman Empire. Never before in human history is there the potential to expose massive numbers of people to the gospel, than in this new global diaspora.

E

EMERGING LEADERS

The growth of Christianity globally hinges on our ability to reach young leaders in big cities. Dave Howard in his book, Student Power in World Mission, believes that most spiritual movements are started by people who made their faith commitment before the age of twenty, and distinguished themselves as leaders before the age of twenty-eight. The greatest challenge facing the global church is the emerging leader generation leaving the faith—this is true in diverse cities like Kolkata, Tirunelveli, Delhi, Imphal etc.

MOVEMENT

We are passionate to see God's people work together and impact the entire city through the complete God's truth, to the spirit and the body.
