The Lausanne Movement exists to connect influencers and ideas for global mission – across regions, issues, and generations. The three global congresses in Lausanne (1974), Manila (1989), and Cape Town (2010) have been central in that global task, and a Lausanne 4 process is currently emerging.
Lausanne 4 is a multi-year, global, polycentric process, facilitated by the global platform of Lausanne, towards catalytic collaboration of the global church, for the discipling of all nations and the shaping of the world in 2050.
In its current expression, Lausanne 4 is focussing on listening sessions involving all Lausanne regions, all Lausanne issue networks, and key representatives from the Lausanne YLGen initiative.
