Empowered by the Holy Spirit to Spread the Gospel
The second day of the Fourth Lausanne Congress focused on the Holy Spirit’s role in empowering the global church for mission. This theme, central to the day’s programme, was explored through a Bible exposition by theologian Femi Adeleye, offering deep insights into the Spirit’s power in the early church and its continued relevance for today’s mission efforts.
Following Adeleye’s exposition, key speakers reflected on ‘God’s Mission Empowered by the Holy Spirit’ sharing testimonies of the Spirit’s work in diverse global contexts. Alongside the Holy Spirit focus, the day marked several important launches designed to expand opportunities for participants to engage and collaborate, including:
- Workplace Track – A track designed for those passionate about integrating faith and work that included 1,400 leaders.
- Collaborate: Listening to Current Realities – A four-session series dedicated to addressing key missional gaps.
- Digital Discovery Center – A space dedicated to exploring how digital tools are transforming global missions in innovative and impactful ways.
This is a call to global repentance. We are his bride, and we have been grieving his heart.
