If you would have told me 10 years ago when I moved to Pittsburgh, that we would have planted 57 churches at this point, I would have told you, ‘You’re crazy.’
It is incredible that now there are 57 CityReach churches and 16 Hope Homes with many more in the coming years.
Planting churches reaches the ONE that is far from God. That is my heart and the heart of CityReach. Reaching people changes the future, changes bloodlines, and changes lineages. It leaves a legacy…
“They will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!”Psalm 22:31
CityReach Network has a vision to create a movement of people, churches and ministries that aggressively reach cites with the hope of Jesus. God is breathing on this vision! It is being caught, owned, and reproduced.
In 2007, Pastor David Spencer, a hero of the faith, gave me a prophetic word that changed my life. Isaiah 58:12 became the founding scripture for our ministry.
“Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.”Isaiah 58:12
CityReach Network believes in repairing and restoring. Lives are touched, people are saved and families are restored when hope homes are started and churches are planted. It is a new day in the Kingdom of God. There is a unity and a willingness to collaborate in the hearts of God’s people. We are truly better together and as we continue to unite and have faith for more leaders and more churches, God continues to provide.
