 Okay. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the next session of a Windchurch planting. So let's just do a quick review of what we did yesterday and then we'll get into today's class. So yesterday we, let me just present the notes. It makes it easier. All right. So yesterday we talked about the Holy Spirit being our leader. We talked about being dependent on the Holy Spirit on all our efforts we labor and God gives the increase. We talked about deterrent fruit and how it requires wisdom to take on a city and some of us also shared on some of the challenges and struggles that we may face or have faced when it comes to both depending on the Holy Spirit as well as executing things that God speaks to us through wisdom. Right. So we also looked at the objectives of church planting. We saw that is an establishment of a community of believers, self-sustaining, self-sustaining in terms of leadership financially and community. So let's move on to the next chapter, chapter 4. God's heart for cities. Right. So now God identifies himself with the city in Matthew chapter 5 and verse 35. Let's just quickly read that. Matthew 5, 35. Now Jesus is just done about this great sermon, the sermon on the Mount and in Matthew 5, 35 is what he says. Let's read it. Is it Matthew 5? Yeah, Matthew 5, 35. Now imagine God identifies himself as a city. Now even when you look at, you know, you did a little bit of n times last sermon. So he studied n times and we look at how God identifies people. He identifies situations. He identifies with different kinds of communities. You see in the Book of Revelation, he says he talks about Babylon, he talks about Israel. And we know that it's not literally Babylon or Israel. He's talking about the people involved there. So God is identifying himself with the city. He's saying the city of Jerusalem. So what does it teach us? God has a heart for cities. And so sometimes we have this picture like, okay, God has created the world and he loves the whole world. Yes. But here's the interesting part. God identifies with the city and he cares for each and every city in his own way. So what happens in each city is seen by God and he knows what has happened. Let's look at Genesis chapter 18, 20 to 21, Sodom and Gomorrah. Now this is just the beginning of nations. Genesis 18, just the beginning. There were not too many nations. Let's read Genesis 18, 20 and 21. Anyone of us can read. Go ahead. And the Lord said, because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great. And because the scene is very great, I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against Eve that has come to me. And if not, I will know. Thank you so much. It says here now, Abraham is praying for Sodom and Gomorrah. And Abraham pleads for the city of Sodom and Gomorrah because what's happening is they have been living in sin. They've turned their face against God. And it says here that the Lord said, the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin is grievous. So what does God say? God does not say, okay, so I'm going to abolish them, abandon them. He says, I will go down and see what they have done. It says, I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. So God is not saying, okay, Sodom and Gomorrah, we don't need you. We just clear up this place. We'll finish it off. And let's only just stick with the nations that are obeying God or obeying and following His law. He doesn't say that. What happens in each city? God cares for it. God sees it. Look at the next example. This is a wonderful story of Jonah chapter 1 and verse. Let's read actually Jonah 4, 10 and 11. So that will give us a better idea. Jonah chapter 4, 10 and 11. Go ahead. Anyone can read please. Jonah chapter 4 verse 10 and 11. Yes, would anyone like to read? Jonah chapter 4 verse 10 and 11. But the Lord said, you have been concerned about this land. Though you did not tend it or make it grow, it sprang up overnight and died overnight. And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh in which there are more than 120,000 people who cannot tell their right hand from their left and also many animals. Thank you, Jonah. So here, again, we know the story of Jonah. Jonah is God is using Jonah. God said, Jonah, okay, pack your bags, go to Nineveh. Nineveh is filled with, you know, sexual immorality. People have turned against me, go to that city and preach the gospel, preach about my goodness, preach about my judgment. And we know the story. Jonah said, no, I'm not going to go there. They deserve the punishment. But in the end, after Jonah goes and he begins to preach and people started turning away from sin. It says here, in this verse 4 verse 11, but Nineveh has more than 120,000 people who cannot tell their right hand from their left. Should I not be concerned about a great city like this? Now, Nineveh was the capital of a Syria, right? And it is a pagan nation. There's nothing godly about the Assyrians, but God's heart was brought that city. Now, if you look at, I remember many, many years ago, we went to, in the nation of India, we went to this place in North India. So those who are overseas, let me just help you to get a background of this place. This place is called Varanasi in North India where it is actually the hub or the center of all kinds of gods and goddesses. It is a center of a lot of sexual immorality, idolatry that happens there. And so hundreds and thousands and thousands of people would come every year to visit that place. You've got the river Ganges flowing there, which they believe was the river of life, river of healing. And so it's a very popular destination, not only a tourist hub, but it's a religious sentimental value to people of our nation. I remember we went there. Every street in every corner, there was so much of demonic work there. And I remember telling myself, how are we going to touch people in this kind of atmosphere, right? This kind of a setting. How is it going to happen? And the first time when I was there, I was thinking to myself, God, how are we going to do this? My heart was for the city, but more than the people in the city, my heart was, God, how are you going to do it? And I remember going back to the room that day and got very clearly ministering, saying, I am bigger than the city's problems and what we see there. And it is from there that I kind of understand that God has a heart for each city, each city, whichever city, whichever nation we are in, God has a heart. And it's never like we should be on the world stage only then God is interested in you. We can be a small city, a small town, a small nation, not even seen by others. God is interested in that. God's hand is involved in establishing nations, cities, towns, villages, everything. God's hand is involved. Look at Jesus in Luke chapter 19, Luke 19, 41 to 44. Let's read that. Luke 19, 41 to 44. Jesus. Now he's finished more than a year of his ministry. By the time he's at Luke 19, more than one and a half to two years or the mid of his ministry. What's he doing here? Luke 19, 41 to 44. He comes to Jerusalem. As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it. Now, actually this was supposed to be a triumphant entry. And if you go up to the verses before that, they were all clapping. They all wanted to honor him for what he did, for what he's doing in his ministry. And it was a triumphant entry, right? He came into the temple in a cold, right? And they brought down, they put their cloaks down and Jesus is walking and they put their cloaks. They also are saying, Oh, Zannah and he's going through the Mount of Olives and he's looking at Jerusalem. If verse 42, if you even, if you, even you had only known on this day that what would bring you peace. But now it is hidden from your eyes. Verse 43, the days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you on every side. So Jesus is speaking prophetically. He's speaking of what is going to happen. They will dash you on the ground. You and the children within your walls, they will leave, they will not leave one stone on another because you do not recognize the time of God's coming to you. Now, why is Jesus leaping over the city of Jerusalem? There's a question there. Is it because there were no facilities in Jerusalem? Is it because there was no, you know, prophets or there was no, or nobody was listening to him? Well, why he, he was born in Jerusalem. He's been there all his life. He's never wept over Jerusalem before. But what is making him to weep over Jerusalem during a prime office ministry? They're all celebrating his life, I think. You know, they're singing, Hosanna to the king and they're putting those. He should enjoy the moment. But rather than enjoying the moment, he's crying. Why is he crying? It says there that because the people, he's not me crying. He's giving a prophetic word saying that not even one stone will be left unturned. And that's what happened when the Romans came later on and destroyed the entire temple and everything that was there. But he's crying because people did not recognize the time of God's coming. They did not recognize that he is the Messiah. So I want to read this open. Why did Jesus weep over the city of Jerusalem? Maybe you can share some more thoughts. If anyone would like to share, what do you think? What was one of the reasons to why did Jesus weep over the city, especially during a time of a time for the entry, during a time when you just soak in the moment and enjoy? What do you think he wept over the city of Jerusalem? One reason could be, as you said, they did not understand the importance of Jesus coming and he cares for that city. As we said, God's heart is for the cities and he cares for the city of Jerusalem. He cares for the people. When they did not realize the importance of Jesus coming into that place, I think that could be one reason Jesus wept over the city. Yes, thank you so much, John. Anyone else would like to share any other reason you feel that Jesus weep over the city? Maybe a question that we can ask is, are we able to weep over the city that we are in? Do we have a desire, a passion to weep? To tell you the truth, I have not really wept over the city of Bangalore, but I have wept over cities. Meaning, I've really moved over certain cities that earlier on we used to do a lot of our traveling to different... Sorry, I'm just going to stop this presentation. We used to travel from different conferences and different programs all across India. There were some of the cities that I went to when I saw people there just living a life that is so ungodly and so... Not only ungodly, but there were times that people, they are seeking a God. They're so religious, they're seeking. They may have a good heart, but they're seeking in the wrong places. Now, how do we tell them? How do we go and reach out? So if we have to reach out to them, the next question here is, why is it important for us to receive and develop God's heart for us? Because if we do not have a heart, we will not be able to push ourselves. We don't have a passion to receive the city that we live in. We will not be able to... Or any other city. We will not want to take a step further. Or we will not feel like moving out of our comfort zone. Just a few points here. We must be interested in the well-being of our city and pray for our city. Jeremiah 29, 7 and 8. And we know the story of Jeremiah. He fervently, fervently prayed for Jerusalem. He's known as a creeping prophet. I just made some additional notes here. A desire and a passion for Jerusalem. He fervently prayed for the nation of the city of Jerusalem. So even to a point that he was beginning to be put into prism, but it didn't stop him from releasing those prophetic words over the nation of the city of Israel. Now, all of us know this was Jeremiah 29, 11. Right? For I know that says the Lord, I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you. Right? Perhaps to give you a good hope and a good future. Now, we know the context of that. That's very important. You know, this is a letter to the exiles. These people, the Jews, are living in, during the time of Nebuchadnezzar, they're living in Babylon. They are in captivity. Right? And in captivity, Jeremiah is praying for the city. They're saying, Lord, bless, bless Jerusalem. That's our city. Weep over the city. The reason that we are here is not because of anything else, because of our own sin. Our own desires that took us away from God. And you know, we see that he's praying over the city, but he's also releasing a prophetic word. The people of Jerusalem are tired, weary. They don't have their own place. God is, through the prophet speaking, saying, I have plans for you to give you a good hope, to give you a good future. Plans to prosper you. Right? And if you go on, it says that I will carry you. I will take you back to the city from where I brought you as exiles. So we must be interested in the well-being of our city. Even if you look at Nehemiah, why must Nehemiah break his head? He's got a good job. He's enjoying his life. But, you know, when he heard the news that the walls are broken, it moved him. Now, that kind of a zeal or that kind of a conviction is very important for us. Now, we are not asking for a conviction that is so big that we, you know, can start doing street demands. No, that's not what we're talking about. Talking about, it could be small things. So, for example, you see that there are a lot of young people who are, you know, suicidal nowadays. You read the newspapers, you've got every day something or the other. Educated people, educated youth, doing well in their studies, committing suicide. It's a spirit. And does it move us or is it just news? We need to ask ourselves. We need to ask ourselves. And there could be many things that God can put in our heart. It could be against prostitution, drug addiction, whatever it is. If God puts something in our heart, be interested, be passionate and pray for that. Look at the next point. What is God's purpose for intercessors for the city? He's looking for it. Why does God need intercessors? God can just do it in his way. But that's not how God designed it. Let's read Isaiah 59, verses 14 through 16. Again, Isaiah during a time of chapter 15. Isaiah 59, 14 through 16. Yes, anyone can read please. Isaiah 59, verses 14 to 16. This turned back and righteousness stands afar off. For truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot enter. So truth fails and he who departs from evil makes himself afraid. Then the Lord saw it and it displeased him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore, his own arm brought salvation for him and his own righteousness. It sustained him. Yes, thank you, Rosent. See, I just want to read a portion from the same verse, from the NIV version. It's very interesting. He says, he saw that, in Isaiah 59, verse 16, he saw that there was no one. He was appalled that there was no one to intervene. So his own arm worked out the salvation. So that means what is the meaning of appalled? Appalled means he was like, it is a mixed emotion of surprised and upset. An emotion of being surprised and upset. It was appalled that not one person is praying for the city. So what does it teach us? God wants us to intercede for the city. Sometimes I've written here, don't feel insignificant. Now it's happened many, many times where we can just be two or three people sitting in a small room in a house, praying for the city, or praying for an entire nation. Sometimes we may feel insignificant. Now, the moment we feel that, just tell the devil that, hey, greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. Because God himself is looking for intercessors. So when we pray for the city and we pray for nations, God is hearing our prayers. So God is not saying, oh, only two people, only five people, I thought the whole church would come. I thought there'd be hundreds of people praying. No, doesn't matter. Here in Isaiah, there are hundreds of people, but he was appalled that not one person is praying. So, develop a heart of interceding for the city. Some of the things that I personally do is what I do is I take time every week. So I make a note. So for this city, I will pray 20 minutes. Now just put down five cities. It could be in India, it could be all of India. Just put it down, city of nations. I put it down and I pray over it. Just pray. And now, what is my responsibility to pray? The verse later on says, God will work it out. He will bring out his salvation. What's our responsibility to pray? And so maybe you can do that, right? Ask God for a desire, for a passion. You can start off by praying for your own city. And then as God puts cities and nations in your heart, pray for them and believe that God will answer your prayers. Next point, God reveals his plans for the city to his prophets. If you look at the Old Testament, God reveals his plans. God told Moses, I'm going to bring the people of Israel out of Egypt. God told Abraham, I'm going to take them back. I'm going to take them into another time of exile. God told Daniel, it's going to be 72 years that these people are going to be here in bondage. All across, right? God has told his prophets what he is going to do. He revealed his plans. And so even as you and I pray, let God reveal his plans. Maybe he may give us strategies. He may give us ideas on how, where, when to reach out. So be open to those as well. Amos chapter 3 was 3, 7 and 8. Let's read that. Amos chapter 3 was 3 and then 7 and 8. It's a common verse. Amos chapter 3 versus 3 and later 7 and 8 question. Yes. Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so. Surely the sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants, the prophets. The line has wrote who will not fear. The sovereign Lord has spoken who can but prophesied. Amen. Thank you, Rosalind. So we see that God is speaking to this prophet and saying, surely two people cannot walk together if they are not in agreement. One, two, whatever the sovereign Lord does, he reveals that to his prophets. So for us to walk together with God, we must be in agreement with God. See, for example, God loves the people of a certain city. Let's take an example of the city of Bangalore, where we are from. God loves the city of Bangalore. He loves the people. He has a plan for the city. But what if, you know, there's a lot of things that are happening here. There's traffic, there's traffic congestion, there is, you know, there's lack of space. There's no parking space. There's so much that's happening. What if I keep complaining about the city? Oh man, the city is like this. This is what happened. Now we're ever going to improve. The government has been doing this. Nothing has been, you know, nothing is improving in our city. All the same laws, the laws are not being put into effect. What if I keep rumbling over it? Now God is saying you pray and bless your city, pray over your city. But I'm majoring on the miners. That is the traffic, the weather, the people, the houses. That's all the miners. You and I must be in agreement and work together with God for what His plan is. What is His plan? That people, communities get to know about the gospel. That darkness be removed, that people's lives be touched, transformed. That churches begin to grow, that ministries begin to grow. That is His desire. But as believers, we are looking at the miners. And remember, God is much bigger than the city. Nothing is too difficult for Him. So we are not to get overwhelmed by the size, by the magnitude of the problem, the gravity of the situation, address these issues to God. So you and I, as believers, we can pray against strongholds. We can pray against demonic oppressions. Address the matters. So for example, if there are over a city, if you see that, there is constantly, maybe there's this drug addiction problem, or prostitution. Pray against it. Just pray against it. Now as you're praying, the enemy may make us feel, hey, you know, you're praying against prostitution, but prostitution has been there for the past 500 years or more, and it's only been increasing. You're praying, nothing's happening. No. God is looking for intercesses. Our responsibility is to pray, and the arm of the Lord will do His work. So don't get overwhelmed. We must get God's heart for the city. We must learn to see people as how God sees them. A heart for souls to be touched, a heart for souls to be added to the kingdom. Now I want to differentiate here. There are two things. One, we can have a heart for souls to be added into this kingdom, and we can have a heart for souls added into the church, into your church, or our church. Now there's a difference. Now if I'm a pastor, for example, and I only want people to come into church, I don't have a heart for this city. But if I have a heart for people to get to know Jesus, to see their lives transformed, whether they are English speaking or any other language, whether they are in the city, going to another city, all that won't matter. So be very clear in your objectives. Tell God, I will do the work of praying, ministering to people. People will come into church, people will go. So it's not about that. The heart is to see people added into God's kingdom. Eventually people will go to like people into the church. Leaders, everyone will come to serve alongside them. To serve alongside you. But our objective should be clear. Because I can have a heart for souls to be added into the local church, but not to have a heart for the souls in the entire city. I just want people to come to my church. That's the wrong attitude. We must be moved with compassion for the people in our city. We must pray for our city. And it's good that as a church, a universal global church, we have recognized that we need to pray for our cities. The reason they're just reading a couple of articles, and the article showed about the nation, the United Nations of America, the USA, how it's a Christian nation, but there is so much that is happening there. That is hurting God so much. We call it the present day sort of in Hamorra. Churches are growing, but people don't know God. And so we must pray. We must put our heart in and pray for the cities. Now, here's the interesting thing. The rewards for this faithful service of praying at this present age results in authorities over cities in the Medellinia. So that means during the thousand-year reign, if here we have been faithful and praying for our city, God can say, okay, you can look after this portion of the city in Jerusalem during the Medellinia. Imagine that reward. The Lord Jesus Himself. You know, in the Medellinia, Jesus is coming. Jesus Himself will say it. Now, some of us may say, oh, who's going to wait till the millennium? This is just an additional point. God will reward us for our efforts and for praying and being honest. The Bible itself closes in the book of Revelation with the Holy City of Jerusalem, where the new heavens and the new earth comes in. Jesus Himself is coming to be on this new earth. So what we want to leave from this chapter is have a heart for the city. Even before you reach out, even before you start your ministries, even before you plan to plant churches, plant ministries, have a heart for the city. If you don't have a heart, sit in God's presence, pray and ask God, God, give me a heart for the city. Or I'm going to another nation, God, give me a heart. If you look at church history, you see these wonderful men and women of God. How are they able to do so much? The William Carrion. Nothing. He's such an insignificant person, child's coercion, insignificant. They don't have great decrees. But how are they able to come to a different nation? Have you ever thought of that? Coming to a different nation, starting something here and just doing such a great work even now, years later, thousands of years later, we are talking about them. It's because they had a heart for the city. So let's look at some of the natural dynamics of urban centers. Now, urban cities, how is it different from a village? Maybe we can share our thoughts here. How is a city different from a village? What do you think sets a city apart from a village? And I'm sure we'll have a lot of thoughts. Would anyone like to share a city and a village? What differentiates us? Anyone like to share? It's just the natural things, natural dynamics. What is there? The culture and practices. So in culture and practices, can you share one or two points? Anyone else too can share. There is a lot of difference. There are cultural differences. Practices are different, but can we specify some of the things? Lighting cities are busy and fast paced whereas in the villages, it is a small settlement with a small group of people. Very true. Thank you. City life is fast paced. Go ahead. I believe even the needs are different for the city and for the village. I've did some village ministries in the past four months and their practices are different, their lifestyle is different and what they expect also was very different. Even the needs change from a city to a village and sometimes even we have to change the way of reaching so that they can understand and I believe there is a lot more changes than you could ever think about. Very true. In a village, in a city we may need our own house but in a village, if they have one tree which gives shade, they are more than happy. Just an example. You see the needs are so different. Subashi says intellectuals and influencers if they can be reached, they have the capacity to reach other cities and nations as well. Anything else? If you look at villages, even when you talk about social media and all of these platforms are there, the usage is much, much lesser and then you can also talk about the mindset, the understanding, what kind of mindset they have, the grasping ability. For example, we can't go to the village and teach about revelations. It's not going to help them. There are different mindsets. Their level of understanding also is very different. There are many, many differences between cities and villages. Let's understand the natural and spiritual dynamics that prevail over us. What are the natural dynamics? The history of the city is very important. We look at it and say, who was it? When was it established? Then you have the political environment. The economy is very important. How is the per capita of the economy? If the economy is good, you've got better jobs, you've got better facilities, you've got people coming into the city, you've got more work opportunities, more work is more income, more income is more tax, more tax is helping the economy. Obviously, in villages it's not so. You work, you know, probably doing labour and then whatever you settle that, you take that income, whatever profit you get and you use it for your home. It's not going to directly affect the town or the village. Then you've got demographics, natural dynamics, age distribution, language, cultural backgrounds, senior citizens, young people. If you look at cities, young people, we know that the city of Bangalore is one of the highest Instagram users in the world. I was so surprised to read that. In the world, the Instagram users, so that means what, you've got probably 5th grade and 6th grade kids were probably 10, 20 years old starting to use Instagram and the demographics have changed. You've got socio-economic issues, you've got education, people coming in for education. The education levels have changed, but we were growing up, you've got first standard to 10th standard, you get into a college and then you get a job. But now you've got so many things available, so many streams that are available. Distribution of educational systems, industrial hubs, women workers, employment, disabled population. So all of these are the natural dynamics. Now, question, why is it important for us to understand the natural dynamics of a city when planning to do a church plan or a church ministry? Why should I understand the dynamics? I will go, I will start the church and I will pray for the city, pray for people and God, you bring the people. Isn't that just enough? So maybe you can share. Why is it important that we must look at the natural dynamics? Anyone would like to share? John, would you like to share? Go ahead. I think even when we look at the life of all, you know, differently to current events, differently to the other cities that we went actually. So the needs changes, the people are in different circumstances. So I think basically we need that idea of how the city works, what's the background and everything. So that we know to preach at their name. There's a verse that says, a timely word is so sweet to the heart. So I think that's one of the reasons all this gospel is just enough we don't need current events. So from the life of all, that's one thing that I understood. He was Jews for the Jews, Gentiles for the Gentiles. So that's one of the quality that I think we all should definitely have so that we can preach the word in the right manner. That's perfect. That's very good. This is a good example of the Apostle Paul. Wherever he went, all the churches that he started there, he knew the natural dynamics of the area. So Acts 17, we do this in the life side of Angeles where he goes to Coran, Athens and he tries to figure out what kind of people they are, what kind of, you know, what is their belief system. He figured out the natural dynamics that they went in the other churches that he, other places that he visited. And yeah, anyone else would like to share? John, would you like to share what are some of the, I know that, so most of us may know John is reading the church in Mangalore. So John, would you like to share like what are the dynamics that you probably noticed that is different from the city of, that you live in and know that you're serving in a different city, what are some of the natural dynamics that you had to, you know, learn over time. And others too can share if you'd like to, you can also share. Would you like to share, John? Anyone else would like to share? Okay, Pastor, I would like to share my personal point of in this regard. I'm from and I recently shifted to Pune. So what I'm realizing is like in the east, I live in the east and the sun used to rise very early in the morning, by far it's so bright, but here in Pune, you know, for it's still dark. And what we do in Kohima was we do ministry during the daytime but now here I'm realizing, you know, only in the evening most of the people are available. So we do house meeting, cell meeting, everything is in the evening around seven, eight and all those things. That's the difference I'm noticing and it's good that I'm learning to adjust and I'm learning from here. Yeah. Yeah, very, very important. Yes, definitely. So one, see, national dynamics don't need to be super spiritual. All these people are it is a simple thing. So Zeddy is from northeast. I remember when I went to Kohima, they came at 4 a.m. with the breakfast. I was wondering why why 4 a.m. breakfast, but that's how it is. This day starts off really early and and so now when you come to a city like Pune in Mumbai or Bangalore, it's time in the day we can go for house visits from the daytime because everyone are working they get back home and sometimes you know practically you see Monday to Friday also they would prefer to just be resting so they prefer a Saturday which is their day off and then Sunday they keep it for family and so that's how it is now we can't get angry and say you don't love God. It doesn't make sense. So these are things that we must keep in mind. Anyone else would like to share why is it important to understand the natural dynamics and so there are few points here let's just go over this and we understand the natural dynamics especially before starting a ministry we get a feel for the city as a whole so we basically tend to understand like okay what will work what may work what may not work what are the changes that you must make when we are planning to start a church or a ministry and secondly this will help us to pray for the city when we know the dynamics of the city so you got some cities who are you know they have this certain kind of problem and then you have another city which is another kind of problem so even as we are praying we know we ask God to give us a heart a heart of compassion towards the city and then this will allow us to allow God to place specific area of needs into our hearts so now each one of us we have different kinds of desires we have different kinds of burdens that God puts in our heart now not all of us can be a mother terrorist because she did a brilliant work of that burden in her but not all of them can you know but she may not be able to do some of the things that others may do because God put burdens in different ways so even as we pray for the city we can ask God God give us a burden for this right and finally it will be also important for us to develop strategies for the city what kind of strategies are we going to develop to minister to the city so it's very important whether it's a city town village to get a feel of what's happening understand the dynamics of the city and that will help us next week I'll just share about exploring Kabul and how launching ABC Delacate how pastor was able to the past small team was able to start ABC Delacate which later came to be ABC right so let's stop here thank you so much okay thank you so much have a great week ahead catch up next week God bless have a good day leaving
