People Are Moving into Cities Faster than the Church is Moving into Cities

Instead of watching the San Francisco Giants win game 4 against the Phillies last night, Tim Keller spoke to the Lausanne III crowd in Cape Town. He delivered a paper on God’s global urban mission.

“The people are moving into the cities faster than the church is,” Keller emphasized. “If you love what God loves then you will love the cities. If you want to go where the people are you got to go into the cities.”

The Christian Post reports on Keller’s message.

  1. Haven been to Cape Town on two separate missionary trips to the shanty towns, Keller’s message speaks volumes to me about bringing the church to the people. A great place to speak about this kinda topic especially because as the pastors were flying into Cape Town the glare off the roofs of the thousands upon thousands of shanty town roofs would have been burned into their memory for the weekend. Thank you for posting. Assablief (thank you in S.Africaan)

  2. Matthew, I’ve spent time in Cape Town also. What a beautiful and broken city.
