Much of "evangelism" in the last many years seems to have been riddled with cracks and fissures... questions arise as to how effective they have been... and are...but... Some things are brewing that may have an impact on a world power-walking away from Christendom. A new network of mission-focused and Scripture-centered leaders who desire change is gathering. It's so new it doesn't have a name yet. Dan Kimball and Erwin McManus are two of the cats at the core of it. I'll be looking into it as it unfolds. Check it out
here. Also on the horizon is the
Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelism in Cape Town South Africa in 2010, it's going to be a gathering of Christian world leaders seeking how to best move forward in reaching this new world in this new time. The last World Congress in 1974 in many ways set the direction for how the people of that era were reached, this Congress will work on how to effectively reach the people of
this time . If you think I should attend this gathering,
nominate me by going to this link. No pressure but if you sense I should be part of this let them know. God knows if He wants me there or not - I'm cool either way.
More than all this, more than Congresses, networks, books and sermons... friends, pray for and spend time with people who are unconvinced about Jesus. Change your life to let this happen more this year than last, I beg you on behalf of Jesus. Jesus is savior alone, make Him visible personally, incarnationally, and regularly to
your local daily world because the Mission matters and the Mission is you and I this day.
