Our VISION

WE WANT to see the gospel of Jesus Christ transform lives and impact cities.

Our vision is to catalyse gospel-centered movements in key cities across the Asia Pacific region.

We want to impact cities by planting and strengthening gospel-centered churches, training leaders, establishing networks, and promoting trans-denominational collaboration.

City to City Asia Pacific is working in many of the global and mega cities through support in planting new churches or church revitalization, the training of ministry and cultural leaders, and providing resources in several different languages to cities in networks throughout the Asia Pacific region. These networks currently include cities in Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, China, India, and Australia, and is expanding.

City to City Asia Pacific is the global affiliate of Redeemer City to City, New York. We are a gospel-centered leadership development organization that prayerfully recruits, trains, coaches, and provides resources for church planting leaders. Our hope is for gospel movements to be cultivated in key global mega-cities through church planting. The formation of City to City Asia Pacific is the answer to many years of prayer from many - Redeemer City to City leaders in New York, as well as pastors, business and cultural leaders alike in Asia Pacific.

We work to:

  • raisE Leaders

  • plant churches

  • develop city networks

Our presence at target cities in Asia Pacific is guided by these key elements:

  • Urban centers with economic and cultural influences

  • Church planters with a deep sense of calling for the city, leadership potential, gospel-shaped character

  • Partnership commitment of the local church leadership for church planter oversight

Our footprint coincides precisely with the most dynamic cities in Asia Pacific - emerging urban clusters that will drive dramatic economic growth and demographic changes over the next decade

What draws us and binds
us together is the gospel.

Gospel DNA is an understanding of how the gospel shapes all of life - from the heart, to churches, and to the cities. It is a vision of the world put into action.

a GROWING MOVEMENT

As a movement of gospel-centered churches develop in the region, we seek sustainable operational models to better serve and catalyze this continuous dynamic growth.
We build upon Redeemer Global/Redeemer City to City's experience and resources to create opportunities in partnering with our network leaders, pastors, trainers and coaches in Asia Pacific. This fosters a local leadership that is unique for Asia Pacific context as our leaders begin to shape their own gospel ministry models and further develop resources for the future.

 
 

THE DREAM

Gospel-centered church planting in our cities will lead to a critical mass of people who are changed by the gospel in such a way that the way they work, think, parent, manage money, and think about sex will be different. It will change the very fabric of the city, and the Name of the Lord will dwell in the city. That's the dream.
