Lausanne Daily Dispatch: Powerful Worship and a New Seoul Statement
Where the worship at L4 has captured the hearts and imaginations of the delegates, my hope is this same spirit can permeate our theology.

Lausanne reflects one of the most significant opportunities in our generation to bring our questions to our global brothers and sisters and get substantive input.
How do we live in this world in light of the truth that Jesus is who he says he is, that he is indeed making all things new, and how does hopeful evangelism shape our witness today?
"In our community, we’re all immigrants from different generations. We need to continue to talk about how the goodness of God has placed us in a position where we can actually be God's instrument to bless others."
"The church is to be a city that's set on a hill that cannot be hid. So when people see us, 'My, how they love one another,' I mean, real love, they're drawn by that."
The promise of Jesus is for this life and the life to come. There’s an opportunity that we have in this moment of spiritual openness that Jesus is well-regarded and well-liked and he seems to be beckoning people.
I think if we're going to make disciples in the 21st century in a polarizing time, we've got to recapture the art of hospitality. Because hospitality is where we are able to make an enemy a friend.
The unexpected adventure of evangelism is the joy and the excitement and the spice of the Christian life. Being active evangelistically raises all other areas of our Christian life.
In a culture awash in loneliness and isolation, the prospect of meaningful, kingdom-centered relationships centered on mission is a powerful vision for church planting.
When we start from a place of shared perspective and fervency, right-sizing our expectations can help us better refocus on our core mission: to show and share the Good News of Jesus with a world in need.
