Cape Town 2010: The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelisation, is now only 100 days away.
Marking this milestone is the launch of The Lausanne Global Conversation in eight languages. This enables evangelicals from all continents to prepare for the Congress, which will be streamed online.
The Congress will be held 16-25 October in Cape Town, South Africa, with 4,000 selected participants.
Lindsay Brown, International Director of The Lausanne Movement, said, "We will gather in Cape Town from 200 nations, a truly global Congress to strengthen the cause of the gospel worldwide.
"Please add your voice to the Lausanne Global Conversation.
"Let it be iron sharpening iron, as we share the insights Christ has given us, and listen to those he has given to his Church around the world."
Naomi Frizzell, Director of Digital Media for Cape Town 2010, commented, "Multi-lingual features enable the whole church to dialogue on a common platform. We look forward to evangelicals world-wide bringing their unique experiences, insights and perspectives."
During the Congress, evangelicals may also gather at official GlobaLink sites, across 68 nations, to watch broadcasts of key addresses and share their reflections with others around the world.
Cape Town 2010 is the third major Lausanne Congress and the first since 1989. It is to be held in collaboration with the World Evangelical Alliance.
Dr Geoff Tunnicliffe, the WEA's International Director, said, "As the 100-day countdown to the Congress approaches, I sense there is growing excitement and anticipation around the world. This Congress has the potential for shaping and impacting a whole new generation of leaders."
Brown urged churches around the world: "Please help us by your prayers. Our goal in every aspect of the Congress is to strengthen the Church in fulfilling Christ’s final command on earth, which has never been rescinded - to make disciples of all nations."
