The term Christian was first applied to a group of ethnically and racially diverse believers in Antioch, the capital of Syria. They were drawn together by the gospel and witnessed the power of God’s love in the midst of urban strife and problems. Across cities of the world, as in New York City,strong spiritual bonds flourish between Christian faith and large urban areas. It’s a combination that shatters cultural barriers, and causes conversions, the transformation of lives, personal depth, charity, and social action. God has a heart for the city, do you?
