26. Missiological Urban
Research: Peoples of
the Cities - Cities of the
Peoples
Cities have many veins of gold.
They run in many directions and
need to be searched for.
The aim of missiological research is
the formation of Kingdom
communities that engage with needs
and transform the city to live under
the goodness of His reign.
There are several ways of viewing
the city to find that gold, to find the
responsive peoples. We can map
these as overlays
