Lausanne Movement's Unique Calling

“The gospel for every person, Disciple-making churches for every people and place, Christ-like leaders for every church and sector, kingdom impact in every sphere of society”

Across the world today, men and women are faithfully stewarding God’s call as leaders and people of influence in organizations, churches, schools, and marketplaces. What would happen if these men and women were to gather together to form God-inspired, catalytic connections within and across regions, generations, shared interests, and ideas? This is the unique calling of the Lausanne Movement: to accelerate global mission. together.

In his travels around the world, Billy Graham met many leaders who were disconnected from each other. He felt called to bring these leaders together, thus beginning a movement of connections marked by a spirit of humility, friendship, prayer, study, partnership, and hope, which Graham called ‘the spirit of Lausanne’. It is in this spirit that world congresses, global gatherings, and issue-specific forums and consultations have been convened for almost 50 years, resulting in numerous connections, initiatives, and resources which have extended the movement.

Since 1974, the Lausanne Movement has ‘set the table’ and convened leaders for a number of global gatherings and catalytic networks that, by God’s grace, have impacted the scope of world missions.

Today Lausanne continues to fulfill its unique calling to connect leaders across regions, issues, and generations to collaboratively and prayerfully work toward the acceleration of global mission.

LAUSANNE MOVEMENT IN CANADA

There are many important Christian associations and networks in Canada who do incredible work with the resources they have. But imagine how much more can be done when all of these organizations collaborate, leveraging the unique strengths and successes of each.

The Lausanne Movement Canada (LMC) was created to, and has become known as, a trusted neutral organization. Our job is to be a catalyst between all Christian groups, bringing them together to initiate strategic partnerships between assemblies, academia, agencies and businesses.

By hosting neutral events around key issue groups, they are able to come together, seek God in unity and collaboratively launch services for greater impact locally and nationally. The results have been astounding as inter-agency initiatives have been formed, inter-cultural bridges have been mended, and impressive approaches to issues have been developed.
