This is the final episode in a three-part series called CityLife Distinctives. Rod and Gary cover the last five of the twelve distinctives in a short amount of time but each distinctive is garnished with stories from our apartments. 

• Compassionate Partnerships

Partnerships are our fundamental way of implementing Matthew 9:35-38. Partnerships are our model in earning trust to serve and build apartment communities. We are dependent on strong partnerships to fulfill the Great Commission in and through apartments.

• Coach the Coach(able)

Coaching is essential in making obedience-based disciple-makers who support disciple-making movements in and through apartments.

• Willing Learners 

We must be willing to learn how God is using our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world that are experiencing disciple-making movements and adapt in our ministries to apartments.

• Equip Churches for Apartment Ministry 

Strong, healthy missional churches in North America are critical in sending and supporting disciple-makers in difficult-to-reach Acts 1:8 areas. By enlisting volunteers from local churches they get to experience the work that God is doing and the opportunity to join Him in making disciple-makers. Additionally, we coach churches in initiating prayer and service for apartments in their own communities.

• Success measured by transformed lives. 

Our effectiveness will be measured by apartment employees, residents, partners and volunteers transformed in becoming disciples who make disciples.
