Movement Day Hosts Global Cities Press Conference October 29th

NEW YORK - Oct. 21, 2015 - PRLog -- Most major cities face many of the same spiritual and social issues. These include vast populations unreached by the gospel, profound poverty and an emerging youth population that is struggling to surpass the 50 percent high school graduation rate. Movement Day Global Cities 2016 will challenge and activate Christian leaders in cities to step up and confront these and other problems collaboratively through a “Gospel Movement”, to transform the lives of marginalized people and ultimately, to change those cities and our entire culture through Christ, states Mac Pier, Founder and CEO The New York City Leadership Center.

Seeking to bridge the spiritual, economic and racial divides in our cities, Christian leaders will gather for the 6^th consecutive year to address today’s urban issues and maximize their leadership potential, all in an effort to accelerate city transformation with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In recent years, global interest and participation in Movement Day has been on the rise and leaders at  The New York City Leadership Center, founders and hosts for the annual event, aim to capitalize on this growth in order to replicate the movement in other major global cities, catalyze leaders, and foster collaboration on a worldwide scale.

Furthering the cause of global Gospel Movements, Movement Day 2015 will also host a press conference at the end of the day to announce Movement Day Global Cities 2016 (http://2016.movementday.com/) – The Nations of New York Hosting the Nations of the World to be held at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, October 25-27 2016.

The press conference will be conducted at the conclusion of Movement Day on October 29, 2015 at 5:30pm in the Gramercy West 3rd floor of the New York Hilton Midtown, 1335 Avenue of the Americas NY, NY 10019. Panelists will offer a brief overview of the movement, current realities, and anticipated outcomes followed by a Q&A with the audience.

Facilitated by The New York City Leadership Center and the Lausanne Movement, an anticipated 5,000 global leaders will gather next year at Movement Day Global Cities 2016 for the sole purpose of impacting the spiritual and social climate of their cities by creating learning communities, sharing best practices and advancing high-level, city-changing collaborative partnerships.  The three-day event is expected to be a world-historic gathering of Christian leaders for this generation and will be led by an expert faculty that includes Bill Hybels, senior pastor of Willow Creek Community Church, Tim Keller, senior pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian church, and Luis Palau, founder of the Louis Palau Association.
