GlobaLink

The Third Lausanne Congress on Evangelization, held in Cape Town, South Africa, was perhaps the widest and most diverse gathering of Christians ever held in the history of the Church. Over 4,000 delegates from 198 nations gathered in Cape Town from October 16-25, 2010. In addition, the Congress reached over 100,000 more participants via 650 GlobaLink sites in 91 countries.

Gordon-Conwell was privileged to serve as a GlobaLink site, and hosted a two-day conference on October 22-23, 2010. Over 300 participants from various local churches, missions organizations across the country, local colleges and our own seminary community gathered to discuss the topics being presented at Cape Town. We watched the plenary sessions shown at the Cape Town Congress and engaged in discussion and prayer around table groups.

The GlobaLink Conference was a meaningful and fruitful gathering, which served to network believers in the New England area and connect us to the greater Body of Christ across the world. But this is more than just a one-time event! Our intention is that this conference would serve as a catalyst for reinvigorating the church’s commitment to mission and would stimulate the Church’s role in addressing the issues of our day. Towards this end, the Wilson Center for World Missions has planned a series of ongoing events and opportunities to better equip, engage and encourage the local church in fulfilling its global mission.
