Why Christians Are Called To Love The Cities They Struggle With

Published October 28th, 2025

Feeling unsettled by what’s happening in your city or community?
Frank shares powerful encouragement from Jeremiah 29 about the call to pray for the place you live, even when it feels hard. In this Morning Wake Up moment, we explore how prayer can soften cynicism, build unity, and reflect the heart of God for our towns and cities.
Whether you're in Auckland, Whangārei, or anywhere across Aotearoa, this kōrero will inspire you to seek the welfare of your neighbourhood and pray with hope. "In its welfare, you will find your welfare" (Jer 29:7).
