Spiritual mapping helps build a picture of the spiritual terrain beneath a people group: the lies they believe, the wounds they carry, the patterns passing between generations.

When our prayer gets coordinates, we move from general intercession to strategic ground-taking.

Years of faithful and fruitful cell leadership… and a long-running spiritual restlessness.

A cell leader reflects on how God used exposure to disciple-making movements to break her out of a 'maintenance paradigm' and into something new.

Urban DMM Research Report: Multiplication from the Margins

Multiplying disciples often begins not with the capable and connected, but among the broken and overlooked. The margins are not just a place to serve. They may be where everything starts.

Monoculture’s biggest advantage is high efficiency and scale. But did we know that it is also very fragile?

One practitioner discusses the insights to disciple-making that were hidden in a farming documentary and what happens when harvest workers embrace complexity.

Cities scatter us. The communal heart of the Great Commission may feel out of reach. But what if the problem isn't commitment — it's that we're holding a fixed picture of what "going together" has to look like?

Four approaches from Asian cities suggest there may be more options than we think.

Can strong conviction become an obstacle to disciple-making movements? Might our tone and posture shut doors before relationships ever get a chance to open?

A practitioner reflects on his experiences in the urbanised west.

Relational authenticity isn’t a performance. When leaders drop the fig leaves, something opens in community.

A practitioner reflects on what genuine honesty between generations actually builds.

The same Spirit, working across wildly different cities. Practitioners from East Asia to Central Asia keep reporting the same patterns — brokenness opening doors, simple obedience producing fruit, youth moving without waiting for permission.

These aren't coincidences, and they aren't models to copy. They're fingerprints. What does it mean when God's methods look this consistent across such diverse contexts?

Have you ever felt the pressure to pack the entire gospel into one coffee session? Let’s look more closely at the message that Jesus asked the disciples to share and how “showing” one bit at a time could be more powerful than “telling”.

Evangelism may seem intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. What if we just need to start conversations instead?

We know that it doesn’t have to be all work and no joy. But how do we “get” or “find” joy? There is a reliable pathway. Join me on this journey… joy is just down the road.

What else is left to do?

In the final article of this current series, David shares a critical step that sets up his team to keep learning and growing in effectiveness.

The joy was drying up… there was a disconnect between what David and his team were living and what they were trying to sow.

They needed to take stock and recalibrate. What did they learn?

I need to tell you about something that shook me during our last gathering in our city.

What shook me was not someone sharing a revolutionary new strategy, but because I finally saw what was already there.

In the last blog we talked about adopting a coaching posture to empower urban mission. In this article we’ll dive into some practical ways our team is learning to do this.

How can we best serve across contexts and between generations?

Here are three powerful principles that are catalytic and collaborative.
