Understanding the city
by listening to its stories
Two Four Eight Research
At Two Four Eight, we began discussing a more formalized research project in July 2021, aiming to broaden input from global teams and challenge our own unconscious biases. Our goal is to stay aware of developments in our rapidly changing urban world, and this report is our first attempt at creating that awareness.
The central question guiding this research is: “Are we still on the right track, and are we focusing on what matters most?”
We share this report freely, hoping other teams will prayerfully consider:
- Are there statements or insights here that should influence what we do?
- Are there perspectives that could make us more effective?
This report is not Gospel truth but our best understanding from a limited sample. It’s a tool we hope God will use to shape both what we do and how we do it. Over time, with broader input from more urban teams, we expect the research to become increasingly refined.
We pray the information here inspires your team to listen to God and respond in obedience – and to set aside anything that doesn’t align with His leading.
