More than 4800 people move into Sydney and Melbourne every week, according to Dr Wayne Krause. “So every year, more people move into our cities than the entire Adventist membership of Australia and the New Zealand Pacific Union Conference. That’s a challenge.”
This challenge and the opportunities presented by rapid urbanisation across the South Pacific region were the catalyst for the 2019 Mission to the Cities symposium, held at Avondale College of Higher Education, February 7–10. Dr Krause, who focuses on church planting and urban mission in his role with the South Pacific Division’s discipleship ministries team, was convener of the symposium—the second such event since the inaugural gathering last year.
