What Is Movement?

Movement is a new paradigm where the Church leaders, Non-profit leaders, Business leaders and Professionals work together with a common vision of transforming cities.

Since its inception, Movement has made the following compelling observations about the power of our collaborative work.

God is raising a new generation of leaders who thrive to work together in collaboration as one Body. 

The distinction of Christianity is the Presence of God in the person of the Incarnate Christ. When Christian leaders are more present to each other, God becomes more present to each of us.
Expressing our unity is what the Lord expects from us. What we do as individuals matters significantly – but what we do together is paramount.

We are invited to love our cities, know it and the act towards the transformation of our city. 

Movement extends its impact beyond individual lives to influence entire cities. Through strategic initiatives, collaborative partnerships, and grassroots efforts, Movement initiatives bring about systemic change, creating healthier, more vibrant communities where God’s kingdom values are lived out.

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.
