2007 is a "happy new era for world evangelisation". This was the closing message for the 400 delegates gathered at the Lausanne Bi-Annual International Leadership Meeting which concluded in Budapest, Hungary, on Friday.
Lausanne members have been in the Hungarian capital since Monday to pray, plan and work together for Lausanne III, a major world mission congress to take place in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2010.
In his farewell address, the Rev S Douglas Birdsall, Executive Chair of the Lausanne Committee for World Evangelisation, reminded conference delegates of the great need for the Gospel in light of such problems as an increasingly secularised youth in Europe and the fresh conflict in Gaza.
