Global Cities
“But you will receive power when the Holy
Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in Judea and Samaria and to the
ends of the earth.”Acts 1:8
The Cedar Springs Global Cities Team is in partnership
with Redeemer Church of New York City in their desire
to plant churches in the gateway cities across the
world.
Following in the scriptural path of the apostle Paul from
the book of Acts, we are looking to “engage the cities,
instead of escaping from them.”

LOVE THE CITY TO LIFE
“The city attracts the strongest as well as the weakest. Sin takes this divine strength-the diversity of the city-and turns it
into a place of conflict and strife. The Gospel is needed to resist the dark side of this gift.” Tim Keller

and to live the gospel to see transformation . . . So we need global prayers to see the work taking off.”

more new cities of one to two million each year.

whether they will continue to influence the world. It
is only a question of what that
influence will be.”
