Saturating your CITY with God's LOVE

Our prayer is that the city would be saturated with God's love manifest through His people loving people as an expression of their love of God. Any neighborhood that does not look like it's been reached by God's love by coming into the fullness of its potential through God's love is unreached. Most cities are comprised of smaller neighborhoods. Neighborhood Shepherds within a larger community connecting with one another can plan events together and thereby begin congregating. The long term result would be praying & working toward a congregation in every unreached neighborhood in a city.

(For illustrative purposes, the following map shows the neighborhoods of Cleveland, Ohio. Each neighborhood represents 10,000 to 20,000 people depending on the neighborhood. This makes neighborhood geographic strategizing manageable for the everyman.)
