The Lausanne Movement

The Lausanne Movement is a global network of Christian leaders from missions, churches and educational and training institutions who share a commitment to world evangelization.  The movement was launched at the prompting of Dr. Billy Graham at the 1974 International Congress on World Evangelization (Lausanne I) in Lausanne, Switzerland.  That historic gathering made three important contributions to world evangelization:
 
  • Helped evangelicals rediscover their heritage and responsibility to holistic ministry.
  • Introduced the concept of Unreached People Groups to a global audience.
  • Produced The Lausanne Covenant, considered by many to be the most significant mission document of the Protestant era.
 
In 1989, more than 3,600 leaders from 190 nations attended Lausanne II in Manila, Philippines. The resulting Manila Manifesto reaffirmed and expanded on The Lausanne Covenant and the call to “proclaim Christ until He comes.” Since then, dozens of Lausanne-related global and regional conferences have convened worldwide. 
CAPE TOWN 2010
The Lausanne Movement is convening Lausanne III on 16-25 October 2010, in Cape Town, South Africa. This will be the first international world evangelization congress of the third millennium.  This Congress will help leaders from around the world wrestle with the challenges and opportunities before the church with respect to global evangelization. 
 
Cape Town 2010 will be held in partnership with the World Evangelical Alliance.
