Mission: Fill

Filling your city with Jesus comes by empowering the willing to come fully alive in God’s presence. This is how cities are being renewed: by first strengthening ourselves in the LORD, then managing our households as greenhouses that cultivate life and multiply into your city where relationships are sovereign, and delivering to them what God has freely given to you. Today, we are looking more closely at the last part of a disciple: one who makes disciples. Seeing your city as a place where you give what God has given you is filling the city. Today, we look at your city and “map” who is in your city, look for the “signs” of what God is already doing, and then “delivery” encouragement and love through sharing our gifts and lives with others.
