Description & Show Notes

Our new episode of the Urban Hope Podcast - God and the City is all about urban church planting and Gospel movements. Our guest today is Stephan Pues, European Director of City to City, a global organisation that promotes church planting in big cities. Stephan talks about his own church planting experiences in Frankfurt and gives further examples from other European big cities where he mentors teams. Stephan answers questions like: Why church planting at all? And explains why "sheep steeling" is a no-go! We learn more about the basic principles of successful church planting: How does it all start? Do you need a certain founder gene? How do you build a team? How do you analyse the neighbourhood? How do you protect yourself before and during crises? And how can we work towards sustainable Gospel movements in our cities? Look forward to hopeful examples that can help you take a fresh look at your city and the topic of missionary church development. Listen in, it's worth it!
