“Live so that Christ may be remembered”
Lausanne is a global Movement that mobilizes evangelical leaders to collaborate for world evangelization. Together we seek to bear witness to Jesus Christ and all his teaching, in every part of the world—not only geographically, but in every sphere of society and in the realm of ideas.
The main tasks of consultation:
- Analyze the experience of evangelism in the states of Central Asia;
- Understand “The Cape Town Commitment – Confession Of Faith and Call to Action” and to lay the foundation for productive work of Christ on regional and international levels;
- Focus on the development of cooperation by means of strengthening the transformative role of evangelical church in society.
By the grace of God, the Lausanne Movement facilitated creation of “The Cape Town Commitment – Confession Of Faith and Call to Action “, which was highly appraised at the previous Regional Consultations in Moscow (2011), and continues to serve as a roadmap for effective service to local churches, ministries, and church unions .
