Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest” (Prov. 6.6-8, ESV). Although these ants are truly small and vulnerable as single creatures alone, they become a mighty and fearsome army when they stand together as one! This is our vision and hope for urban disciples throughout the inner cities of America. United in the Spirit of God in total surrender to Christ – who knows what God may accomplish for his Kingdom once the power and availability of urban Christians is harnessed and mobilized! The SIAFU Network mission statement says as much regarding our earnest prayer for Chapters throughout urban America: The SIAFU Network is a national association of Chapters anchored in local urban churches, organi- zations, and/or ministries specifically designed to identify, equip, and release spiritually qualified urban servant-leaders to reach and transform the poorest unreached communities in urban America. The SIAFU Network’s backbone is its Chapters, and the heartbeat of the Chapters is its regular SIAFU gatherings. All effort you spend on making your Chapter meetings
