The Lausanne Global Prayer Focus was launched in May, with new video blogs and other content posted each day of the month calling the church to focus together in prayer.
Brothers and sisters from over 100 countries joined together in prayer. We hope you were blessed and encouraged as you joined us. If you weren't able to, we invite you to begin a month of prayer now using the weekly guides available for download below or the full list of daily prayer updates. The content is just as relevant this month as it was in May, and as a movement we are committed to a foundation of prayer.
Lausanne Honorary Chairman, and outgoing Executive Chair, Doug Birdsall invites us to celebrate what God has done and is doing through The Lausanne Movement and to pray for Lausanne as it enters a new season.
Researchers at the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, including Lausanne Senior Associate Todd Johnson, have produced the 2013 report, Christianity in its Global Context, 1970–2020:Society, Religion, and Mission. The report offers a timely overview of the changing context of Christianity and Christians’ activities since 1970, while looking forward to 2020. The full report can be downloaded free of charge:
The Lausanne Movement’s first Global Leadership Forum, held in Bangalore in June, drew together 350 participants from over 60 nations, selected from the public arenas, churches, agencies and the media. Its main work was to assess progress in issues identified in The Cape Town Commitment, and to stimulate further collaborative action towards the goals of its ‘Call to Action’.
The Chinese Church was barely represented at The Third Lausanne Congress in Cape Town in October 2010 as Chinese participants were unable to leave China. In 2011 plans were laid quietly for a special event for these Chinese church leaders, to be held elsewhere in East Asia. Over one hundred unregistered church leaders from mainland China arrived safely in Seoul, representing millions of Chinese believers.
The participation of the Chinese leaders in the 300-strong Asian Church Leaders Forum (ACLF) marked the first time since 1949 that such a group of Chinese Christian leaders had taken part in a multi-national gathering. It was a symbolic moment in church history. Speakers included Patrick Fung of OMF International; Daniel Bourdanné of IFES, Joshua Ting of CCCOWE, Thomas Wang of Great Commission Center, JaeHoon Lee of Onnuri Church and James Hudson Taylor IV, great-great-grandson of the British missionary pioneer to inland China.
Congratulations to the Anglican faithful on the election of Glenn Davies as the next Archbishop of Sydney! Bishop Davies serves as a member of the Lausanne board, embodying the "spirit of Lausanne" in humility, prayer and partnership. Please joins us in prayer that the Lord would continue to use him as an "instrument of righteousness" for the revival and mission of the Anglican Church in Sydney and beyond.
