Our Vision
The vision for Strategic Cities Foundation is to catalyze church planting ecosystems in highly influential cities across the world.
We envision churches that are Kingdom-minded, desiring to see God’s rule come to bear in their city, the surrounding region, and even beyond. They are churches that are not inward-looking or defensive. They don’t try to build their own kingdom and have a posture of generosity. A summary of their attributes could be:
- Outstanding leadership
- Kingdom-minded
- Having the desire & capability to plant churches
- Gospel inspired generosity
- Sufficient size to execute
- Located influentially (both within the country and the city)
It is from these “bases” that the Kingdom of God can be expanded in increasing concentric circles. In place of a United States base, from which we try to expand the Kingdom of God, there are “bases” located nearer to the frontlines. And these bases will be resourced by people who are closer to the culture and probably have better language skills than the staffing of US located bases. A cherry on the cake is that the costs of staffing these churches and their mission enterprise is likely to be lower.
