New York City with Sarah Jane May 11th, 12th and 13th
"One of the reasons Christians in our day are to love the city as they await the unveiling of Jesus' city (Rev 21:1-2) is that the city is the most strategic place for Christian and the gospel. If culture is like a river, then cities are upstream, creating culture that then flows downstream to the masses. Because government, law, education, healthcare, information, media, arts, sports, entertainment, trade, travel, population, and industry are concentrated most in a city, cities are the fountains from which culture flows. Therefore, for Christians to flee from cities then to only complain about the kind of culture that is flowing into the culture from the cities is both foolish and hypocritical. The answer is for Christians to love the city, move to the city, pray for the city, and serve the city until Jesus returns with his city from which all culture will emanate throughout the new earth." Mark Driscoll, Vintage Jesus
