Description

The 4th Lausanne Congress created a space for the Global Church to engage in vital conversations around God’s mission, our obedience to Jesus’ Great Commission, and the church’s calling in today’s rapidly changing and complex world. Guided by the theme: “Let the church declare and display Christ together,” the global Church was challenged to proclaim and demonstrate the gospel of Jesus Christ faithfully.

Among the participants were Baptists from every region of the BWA who benefited from the offerings of this global missional conference. The webinar will feature a panel of Baptists who attended the Congress to impart the knowledge gained with the wider Baptist constituency to increase awareness as we impact the world for Christ together.
