The Lausanne Movement is a global network of Christian leaders from missions, churches and educational and training institutions who share a commitment to world evangelization. The movement was launched at the prompting of Dr. Billy Graham at the 1974 International Congress on World Evangelization. That historic gathering made three important contributions to world evangelization:
- Helped evangelicals rediscover their heritage and responsibility to holistic ministry.
- Introduced the concept of Unreached People Groups to a global audience.
- Produced The Lausanne Covenant, considered by many to be the most significant mission document of the Protestant era.
Many within the CCCC have been influenced by the efforts directly or indirectly of the Lausanne Committee. Our official association with them is through the Mission America Coalition. www.lausanne.org
