CityLife Distinctives- Partnerships, Coaching, Learners, Equip Churches, Transformed Lives (E8)

This is the final episode in a three-part series called CityLife Distinctives. Rod and Gary cover the last five of the twelve distinctives in a short amount of time but each distinctive is garnished with stories from our apartments. Compassionate PartnershipsPartnerships are our fundamental way of implementing Matthew 9:35-38. Partnerships are our model in earning trust to serve and build apartment communities. We are dependent on strong partnerships to fulfill the Great Commission in and through apartments.Coach the Coach(able)Coaching is essential in making obedience-based disciple-makers who support disciple-making movements in and through apartments.Willing Learners We must be willing to learn how God is using our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world that are experiencing disciple-making movements and adapt in our ministries to apartments.Equip Churches for Apartment Ministry Strong, healthy missional churches in North America are critical in sending and supporting disciple-makers in difficult-to-reach Acts 1:8 areas. By enlisting volunteers from local churches they get to experience the work that God is doing and the opportunity to join Him in making disciple-makers. Additionally, we coach churches in initiating prayer and service for apartments in their own communities.Success measured by transformed lives. Our effectiveness will be measured by apartment employees, residents, partners and volunteers transformed in becoming disciples who make disciples.
