In November, pioneers, church planters and missionary leaders from across Europe gathered at the City to City conference in Budapest. This international meeting focused on the renewal of European cities through the transforming power of the gospel. Many members of the CGK were in attendance. What was their purpose in attending, what impressed them, and what concrete ideas did they take home to apply in their own work? Five participants look back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lectures and meetings<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Meeting colleagues from different countries is motivating and inspiring. For Rev. Rein den Hertog, it was valuable to step away from his daily routine and be nourished by conversations, lectures, and encounters. The recognition is beneficial. Rev. Jan Bosch writes: \u201cOne moment you are talking to someone from Istanbul, the next moment to someone from Kiev. It is wonderful to discover that we can live from the same faith and desire to share the gospel with others. You notice how deep this goes in the conversations about the meaning of Jesus\u2019 sacrifice and the hope that it brings, and at the same time the passion to make this meaning known to others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
