Every partnership has at least four different constituencies or "publics" to keep in mind.  Each of these constituencies has hopes, expectations, and unique communications needs.  Acknowledging and being responsive to these constituencies and their expectations builds hope and strengthens your partnership's success potential.

This module helps you avoid disaster by engaging and meeting the needs of each of these groups - helping them understand their role and share in the success of the partnership.

We live in an increasingly global, interconnected world.  Communications are being revolutionized; teams connect around the world to complete a single task.  These developments coincide with the globalization of the church.  Linking Christians who are spread over vast distances but are bound by a common vision is not only possible but essential.  What are the trends, special opportunities, and unique challenges of this new world order?

The migration of world population into the cities is creating unprecedented challenges for planners, governments, educators, sociologists, and businesses—not to mention the impact on individual lives, families, and communities of all sorts.

Cities are the most complex of human organizational and social structures. They present unique, extraordinary challenges to those wanting to serve, reach, or see their cities transformed through the power of Christ. Simply put, no single ministry or individual can ever hope to “reach a city.” Only by working together could the dream ever come true.

This course helps you explore the key issues you will face in forming networks, partnerships, or other coalitions to reach and/or serve your city. It will give you ideas and suggest practical steps to “get your arms around” one of the truly great modern ministry challenges.
