The Thailand Statement - Summary statement from the Consultation on World Evangelization (COWE), including a 12-point pledge made together by participants in the final meeting 


The COWE divided for five of its ten days into seventeen 'mini-consultations'. These focused on how to reach particular peoples for Christ. Each produced a report, which was published as a 'Lausanne Occasional Paper' (LOP). The major part of each report went through a draft and a revised draft, which involved all members of the mini-consultation. It was also submitted to a wider "sub-plenary" group for comment, but the responsibility for the final text rests with the mini-consultation and its chairman. The documents are highly valuable and informative report of the mini-consultations.
