    About this ebook

    In October of 2010, over 4,000 Christian leaders from 198 countries met in Cape

    Town, South Africa, to discuss critical issues of our time as they relate to the

    Church and evangelization. This was the Third Lausanne Congress, convening nearly

    36 years after the original Lausanne Congress in 1974, called by Billy

    Graham. Written as a roadmap for the Lausanne Movement going forward, The

    Cape Town Commitment presents a statement of shared Biblical convictions, and

    calls churches, mission agencies, seminaries and Christians all over the World to

    action. This study edition of The Cape Town Commitment includes

    additional commentary by the drafting committee and carefully composed questions

    for further reflection. Groups or individuals will be prompted to interact on a

    deeper level with the text and will have the opportunity to engage in the same

    discussion questions that engaged those at the Third Lausanne Congress, for which

    The Cape Town Commitment was first created. Prominent authors involved in The

    Lausanne Movement include John Stott, John Piper, Ajith Fernando, Vaughan Roberts,

    Joni Eareckson Tada, Christopher J. H. Wright, and Rebecca Manley

    Pippert. “It is hard to believe that so many years have gone by since

    Lausanne ‘74. How many changes we have seen since then! The world has changed, the

    church has changed, younger leaders have been raised up, but the Gospel has not

    changed, and the need for evangelism is more urgent than ever before.” —Billy

    Graham. “The Cape Town Commitment is not the memorial of a moment.

    It is the conviction of a Movement and the voice of a multitude. It distils a vast

    quantity of input from the global Church. We profoundly hope and pray that we are

    hearing not just the voice of Cape Town 2010, but the voice of our Lord Jesus

    Christ who walked among us there.” —From the Foreword
