Planting Movements is what we're all about

The past year we have really begun to focus our leadership efforts within our ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ at CU Boulder and beyond. Most of where we are landing is in the concepts of planting new movements/churches.

A few of the things I have read recently that give a small glimpse of what we're trying to do is found at
Missionary Training strategy Leads to Thousands of New Churches
Turning 30 into 100,000
Fuelmovements blog

All of this and my recent trip to Mexico City has led us to some changes. We feel God is calling us to something sweet and big. We're heading down to Mexico City this coming Aug/Sept to help give leadership to reaching the 28 million or so people in Mexico City. We're excited about the call God has placed on our hearts and we're even more excited about the ways He will glorify Himself there.

We believe God is calling us to something new and special in Mexico City. From the words of our National Director Agustin, "If we continue in ministry, church the same way, it will take us 400 years to reach the whole city." This is why we're moving. We want to listen to the Spirit and lead in such a way, partnering with churches, ministries and the such so that the whole city can experience a revival; so every person can be reached with the message of the Gospel.

We're praying now that every pocket of the city would have a church, a movement, would have a spiritual multiplying group that will impact every nook and cranny of the city. Join with us if God is calling you to go for it here.
