experience including hands-on, immersion opportunities, keynotes, lectures, and workshops. You are invited
to come build trust, share wisdom and be inspired to better engage our new urban world! We’ll join together
with a varied mix of Western and Majority World Christian thinker/activists to discuss key practitioner themes
and best practices. In addition, you’ll participate in sessions of reflective prayer, active bible studies, and
calls for collective action. We aim to “seek the peace of the city” (Jeremiah 29:7) for our various urban cities
scattered around South East Asia and the globe!
