Why Partnership Matters
The Lausanne Global Partners is founded on the biblical principle of partnership, reflecting Paul’s words in Philippians 1:5: ‘because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.‘ We believe that fulfilling the Great Commission is a collective effort, and through this partnership, we can do more together than we could ever accomplish on our own. Your partnership helps extend the reach of global mission, enabling greater collaboration across the global church.
Annual Partners Gathering: An Exclusive Retreat for Lausanne Global Partners
As a Lausanne Global Partner, you are invited to an exclusive annual partners gathering scheduled for Fall 2025. This carefully crafted retreat is designed to foster deep relationships, provide invaluable insights, and offer you much-needed rest and rejuvenation. In a world busy with ministry demands, this gathering creates space for three key elements that will equip and refresh you for continued gospel work.
Small Groups for Lasting Connections
At this gathering, you will be placed in a small group with carefully selected peers—leaders of similar influence, ministry caliber, and life stage. These groups provide a unique opportunity to build new, meaningful relationships with leaders who understand the same challenges and joys you face. Through these connections, you’ll gain a support network of fellow leaders who can walk alongside you beyond the event.
Large Gatherings with Global Thought Leaders
In addition to personal connections, this retreat offers thought leadership from experts and researchers around the world. These large sessions are designed to equip you with insights on key global mission trends—knowledge that leaders often don’t have time to explore on their own. You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, strategies, and encouragement that will inform your ministry’s future.
Rejuvenation for Spiritual and Physical Refreshment
More than just a time of learning, this gathering is also a space for renewal. The program is intentionally designed to offer rest and refreshment, with time for worship, prayer, and quiet recreation. We understand that healthy leaders are vital to healthy congregations and organizations, so we prioritize creating an environment where you can pause, recharge, and return to ministry with renewed energy and focus.
This event is a place to refresh you spiritually, equip you intellectually, and connect you relationally with like-minded leaders. It is not just a break from ministry but a time to be strengthened for continued faithful service. This gathering is designed specifically with leaders like yourself in mind, and we believe that you’ll want to mark it on your calendar each year, knowing it will be a time of connection, growth, and much-needed refreshment.
