Global Conversations on the Issues
Global Issues – Global Conversations – Global Solutions
Today on nearly every continent, the Body of Christ is faced with major challenges to not only its physical survival, but also attacks on the very tenets of the Christian faith.  How should the church respond to these challenges and what issues require the attention of the global church?

“The church is facing important global issues that require global conversations to find global solutions,” says Rev. S. Douglas Birdsall, Executive Chair of the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization (Lausanne Movement).

At the urging of evangelical leaders worldwide, the Lausanne Movement, with the participation of the World Evangelical Alliance, will host the Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization in Cape Town, South Africa, 16-25 October 2010.  Cape Town 2010 will provide a global forum – before, during and after the Congress – in which leaders from around the world will explore issues facing the Church and God’s world.  Then together, leaders will prayerfully seek God’s guidance in responding so that God’s name may be honored and many more men, women and young people will be able to hear and respond to the message of Christ presented in a relevant and culturally appropriate manner. 

It is anticipated that over 4,000 leaders from 200 countries will attend Cape Town 2010.  The Participant Selection Team, made up of leaders worldwide, has established specific criteria to ensure that the Congress will include men and women from a broad spectrum of nationalities, ethnicities, ages, occupations and denominational affiliations.  (Read more)
 
How to Participate
 
We are committed to a recommendation and selection process that is guided by local and regional leaders.  It is our desire that the 4000 men and women who are chosen to attend the onsite Congress will reflect the composition of the evangelical church within their respective countries and offer a microcosm of the global evangelical church.  Therefore close interaction with local/regional leaders is crucial.

As you begin thinking about your involvement in Cape Town 2010, it’s important for you to know that all potential participants must be recommended before they can apply.  (Read more)
