WHAT WOULD A TRANSFORMED CITY LOOK LIKE?

In short, a Transformed community is:

• A city or region whose values and institutions have been overrun by the grace and presence of God
• A place where divine fire has not merely been summoned, it has fallen
• A society in which natural evolutionary change has been disrupted by invasive supernatural power
• A culture that has been impacted comprehensively and undeniably by the Kingdom of God
• A location where Kingdom values are celebrated publicly and passed on to future generations.

Community Transformation is indicated when:

• Political leaders publicly acknowledge their sin and dependence on God
  
• New laws, curricula, and business practices are put into effect
  
• The natural environment is restored to its original life-nurturing state
• Economic conditions improve and lead to a discernable lessening of poverty
  
• There is a marked change in social entertainment and vices as Kingdom values are integrated into the rhythm of daily life
  
• Crime and corruption diminish throughout the community
• Volunteerism increases as Christians recognize their responsibility to heal and under gird the community
  
• Restored hope and joy leads to a decline in divorce, bankruptcy and suicide
  
• The spiritual nature of the growing socio-political renewal becomes a hot topic in the secular media
  
• Overwhelmed by the goodness of God, grateful Christians take the embers of revival into surrounding communities and nations
