San Jose earmarked for church-planting conference

Urban areas are a ready mission field, which is why there are so many ministry teams trekking around the globe to bring the Gospel to those who populate these centers, reports MNN.

Poverty is one key characteristic of inner cities, regardless of location. With the poverty comes crime and overwhelming need.

That's what forms City Team's mission. Their ministry works to help change the lives of the destitute and homeless, introducing the real hope of Christ and touching one life at a time.

That vision brings with it a unique challenge. Once people respond to Christ, what then? Discipleship is key to cultivating a rooted faith, but not all urban centers have churches ready to respond.

That's why City Team Ministries' San Jose branch is holding a special conference for area pastors next Thursday. Specifically, they're targeting church leaders who want to get involved with the Church Planting Movement and how that relates to evangelism both domestically and abroad.

Because churches are springing up in places traditionally resistant to the Gospel, many church leaders are asking how they can bring that explosive growth to the U.S.
