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 of 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 struggles, value systems, and opportunities.

The YWAM Tyler city ministries in Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. are teaming up to host an Urban Discipleship Training School (UDTS) at YWAM Tyler in March 2010. The UDTS is not only for those who are from the city but for those who have a heart for the city and a desire to understand the character of God in an increasingly urban world. The 12-week classroom phase, offering teachings with urban relevance and understanding, is followed by two months of hands-on, focused ministry in a major city.
