Introduced in London in 1969, the phrase “Mind the Gap” is a sound or visual warning phrase issued to train passengers to “take care” when crossing the gap onto the train. 93% of the Christian Churches/Churches of Christ in the USA are in cities that have a population of less than 175,000. When we look to the largest cities in the world, the presence of our churches is even smaller. According to new resources, by 2030, 72% of the world will be living in cities that have over two million in population. The Church needs to mind the gap concerning the number of churches serving our cities! God calls his people to places that need Him. Throughout the Bible, we see examples of how God called his workers to spread the Gospel in the city because there are many people there who need Him. For example, He called Jonah to the city of Nineveh and Paul to the city of Corinth to spread God’s word. Because of their efforts, these cities were transformed from wicked places to places where God’s love spread. We’re excited to be furthering this discussion in Kansas City, as we all learn how to “mind the gap” and “embrace the city” all over the world. We’re excited you’re here at #ICOM2019! — Jeff Fife, 2019 ICOM President, Brazil River of Life Ministries Welcome to ICOM 2019: MIND THE GAP – Embracing the City From the Director...

It’s kind of cool, the idea of an urban emphasis was presented to us in Kansas City and here we are, six years later, bringing it to life. This weekend is going to be focused on both domestic and international urban ministry. Don’t miss out on these opportunities to learn more about global cities. Spend time in the
