Living in the City

Being in Long Beach, CA this summer opened my eyes to what God is doing in big cities like the Los Angeles area and in places like Mexico City. Sam Metcalf writes a blog post Urban Realities that confirms that we must think and act differently to reach people living in big cities.

"Within a year or so, more people will live in cities than in the countryside for the first time in human history: the 21st century will be an urban one. But increasingly, the urban core itself is downsizing. Already, half the city dwellers in the world live in metropolises with less than half-a-million residents. Second Cities--from exurbs to regional hubs, resort towns to provincial capitals--are booming." Newsweek
