The overarching vision is rooted in the belief that God is actively at work, using individuals and their resources "for such a time as this." The driving force is a sense of divine calling and a commitment to faithfully serve God's purposes by supporting leaders and the desires He places within their hearts. Convene seeks to be a 21st-century expression of the 1st-century church, fostering unity, growth, and lasting impact in both the marketplace and ministry. The journey from personal faith to technology leadership and the establishment of Convene for the Cities is seen as a testament to God's guidance and provision in unexpected ways.
