Friday at Lausanne

This will be a short post as (along with pretty much everyone else here), I am totally exhausted. Today's focus was on unity from Ephesians 4 and on the continent of Africa this evening, along with a highlight on reaching children and youth. The African music was lively!

This morning there was a presentation on the unreached people groups that generated some significant objections from a couple of directions. Unfortunately, the information was not at all accurate, and the manner in which the challenge was presented left many of us with some significant concerns. But in a group of this size, there are bound to be a lot of different opinions and approaches. I guess it is an opportunity to practice some of the unity we studied this morning in Ephesians.

For whatever reason, the Lausanne leadership team has decided that they will not announce extra meetings, so the church mobilization/partnership meeting included just a few people I had talked with personally. Their situations varied widely, so it was an interesting informal discussion but pretty limited. I trust it was encouraging to the handful who were there.
