We move in for an indefinite period of time. We don’t encourage short-term but rather long-term involvement in our communities, in part so we are not drifting in and out of peoples’ lives. Our prayer is that people who move in will see it as a lifestyle choice for the rest of their lives.

Every team member must join their team in prayer for their neighbourhood once a week. Activity with neighbours beyond that develops naturally from those prayers.

We are doing our best to connect people with a similar vision. As soon as we hear of someone else wanting to move into your city or neighbourhood, we will let you know right away (make sure your neighbourhood can be found on the map). Finding an apartment can sometimes be a long process. However, we are in it with you; praying for you and cheering you on every step of the way.

It sounds scary for kids to grow up in urban poor neighbourhoods. But dozens of MoveIner families all over the world have found this to be a big blessing for their family as a whole, including their kids. We’d be happy to connect you with one of these families to hear firsthand about what it’s like! It is important to know that in our experience we try to reduce risk and we have action plans to help in complex situations.

Spiritual warfare, interpersonal issues, pests, disappointment and more. It can only be done by God’s power.

They meet them naturally, the same way they might meet anyone else — in elevators, hallways, lobbies and laundry rooms. They meet them by visiting the local park, attending community groups or starting their own. They meet them by holding community dinners for neighbours on their floor. These are just a few ways.

A MoveIner is accountable to his or her own community; namely, family, peers, employer and church. MoveIners are not individually accountable to the MoveIn Vision Team, whose role is mobilization and support in the form of guidance, resources, and networking. MoveIn values the wider body of Christ, and every MoveIner is expected to be plugged into a local church.

We call our staff team the “MoveIn Vision Team”. As this movement grows and takes root in new regions, the MoveIn Vision Team is working to spread the vision, gain understanding, start new teams, and support the movement. As we work towards seeing the vision fulfilled for thousands of Christians to move in, today we are supporting the hundreds who already have taken this step. .We are coaching, providing resources and training, mobilizing prayer support, and building synergy and solidarity across a global movement.

MoveIn designates a “patch” as a community with the following identifications: low-income population / home to unreached people groups / high-density city region.

Some teams are church plants. This is a purpose that is decided upon by the team. It is an ideal community to foster new believers with Bible study, fellowship, and discipleship.

Those who have gone before and are reaching out in the neighbourhoods we move into are our heroes. We desire to learn from and work with these brothers and sisters in Christ.
