Our story
“For us, New York is not the finish line but the starting line."
To fulfill the Great Commission, we need to raise both homogeneous leaders who can effectively reach their own people and cross-cultural leaders who can carry the gospel beyond their own culture. New York City is the ideal place to develop this, since it is home for almost all peoples of the globe exchanging their culture in their daily lives. We envision to make disciples of all nations and send them to all peoples from New York City to all around the world.
