ethnéCITY—reaching the unreached in the urban center

The stakes are high and the possibilities are profound. Our rapidly urbanizing world has presented us with unprecedented strategic opportunity to impact lostness. We must seize the moment!

Reaching the Unreached in the Urban Center is for anyone interested in exploring what it will take to engage the diaspora of unreached people groups in the urban centers of the world. Whether you’re a pastor, missionary, church planter, missions leader, college or seminary student, or any person desiring to be used of God to reach the unreached, we encourage you to come engage in the global conversation.
In this conference we will:

• Explore the reality of the urbanization of the world and what it will take to engage the unreached in the urban centers of the world.
• Equip mission leaders and church-planting strategists in the development of strategies to reach unreached people groups in their indigenous homeland and in urban centers, including in the U.S.
• Provide an environment for mission leaders and international and U.S. church-planting strategists focused in urban centers to network and develop opportunities to work together.
