City to City Africa is built on relationships and networks across the continent. The first step in working with City to City Africa is connecting with a catalyst to learn about your ministry, city, and ways that we can support you in your ministry and church planting and network building. Please reach out to the catalyst over your region to begin a conversation on how we can work together toward planting more churches and starting new city networks.

West Africa Catalyst
Samuel Boateng is a regional catalyst for City to City Africa, leading the work in West Africa from his base in Accra, Ghana. He is one of several key figures in the organization's regional strategy, which divides the continent into four regions, each overseen by a catalyst.
City to City Africa, a parachurch organization, focuses on fostering urban gospel networks and supporting church planters and ministry leaders in major African cities. The organization's work is rooted in a model originating from Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, which was inspired by the church planting efforts of Tim Keller. Tobie Meyer, the executive director of City to City Africa, was instrumental in establishing the African branch in 2017, aiming to create a contextually relevant training environment for African pastors.
The organization conducts intensive training events, with plans for an English intensive in May, a Portuguese intensive in August, and a French intensive in October, drawing participants from across the continent.
