Lausanne III, Global Congress on World Evangelization closed last evening with an extended time of worship and celebration of communion together. Then over 4,000 delegates left for their homes in almost 200 countries around the world. I believe that all of us return with a deeper commitment to work toward reaching every one of earth’s 7 billion people with the gospel, and for doing so with bold proclamation accompanied by acts of mercy and justice.
My final day was highlighted by several exciting conversations. There were good profitable discussions with a couple of missions pastors. The leader of the evangelicals of the Philippines would like to get a simplified version developed for his country in time for me to come to the Philippines in May to share it at the national Call2All conference that will draw church leaders from all over the island. This is exciting! I also chatted with a man who, I was told, is something of the founding father of missions in Korea—a very self-effacing gentleman, still training missionaries even though he appears to be in his senior years.
