What’s next for the Kistlers!
With over 50% of the world’s population living in cities, we now have the first urban generation.
In less than 25 years over 5 billion people will live in cities, yet these remain some the least evangelized areas of the world. Today’s global youth culture is post-christian in its orientation and worldview. We need to see a generation of Christians who know God in a world of urban strugglers, value systems, and opportunities.
Katrina and I (Rodger) are teaming up with the ministry leaders from Dallas, Houston, Chicago, and New Orleans to host an Urban Discipleship Training school (UDTS) at the YWAM New Orleans campus this spring. The UDTS isn’t only for those who are from the city, but for those who have a heart like ours for the city, and a desire to understand the character of God in an increasingly urban world.
We both are incredibly excited for the opportunity to pioneer this urban missions training school with some of our heros in the faith. We will be moving to New Orleans March 13th to start preparing for the students who arrive on the 28th. We will be living at the YWAM campus in Algiers Point. Just one direct ferry ride from the French quarter and downtown.
Praise God dude! Louisiana boy! We are excited for you guys for this season of teaching and growing for the urban culture. Thanks again for all of the material. IF you happen to be in Shreveport 13th-17th of this month come and see us only a hour and half away! Blessings to you guys!

Rock on big man, cities are HUGE on Gods heart, target with intent!
