I see a new unified city
I see a new city where the church and all of society is united to see the city flourishing. A city where the church takes its place in civic society and works to bring about shalom.
I see a new city where we all make a difference
I see a new city where every person in their places of work and neighbourhood becomes a city changer.
I see a new city of social impact entrepreneurialism
I see a city full of creative entrepreneurs moving the dial on the stubborn social issues of today.
I see a new poverty-free city
I see a city where the evil of poverty and injustice is being eradicated.
I see a new city of flourishing women
I see a new city where women are safe honoured and released to disrupt the status quo of injustice.
I see a new city for our children and young people
I see a new city where our children and young people are safe, secure in families, and reaching their potential.
I see a city that knows its identity and potential
I see a city that knows its identity, its history, geography and place. A city that knows its assets, opportunities and challenges. A city that has a vision for the future and a plan to realise it.
I see a new intercultural city
I see a new city not divided by ethnicity, class, gender and income but celebrating diversity and unity.
I see a city where everyone knows the name of Jesus
This vision is about social, cultural and spiritual transformation. Ultimately it is about people’s lives being transformed from the inside. People who know forgiveness, healing and restoration begin themselves to transform others in the name of Christ.
