Kingdom Collaboration: Uniting Mission and Marketplace for Urban Renewal - Maurice Nightingale

“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” (Jeremiah 29:7, ESV) Focusing on the idea of being “Here for Good,” this session emphasizes the importance of collaborative partnerships in pioneering ministry, where churches work with the local community rather than simply operating in it. We explore how mission and business can come together to create sustainable models of support for pioneering endeavours, while also offering avenues for engagement, friendship, and discipleship within the wider community. This approach to Kingdom collaboration ensures that churches are actively contributing to the social, economic, and spiritual well-being of their context, embracing a missional posture of collaboration and shared purpose.
