Cape Town 2010 – Reflections from Doug Birdsall, Lausanne Movement Executive Chair

Greetings from Boston.  Jeanie and I are now home after being with family, friends and Lausanne colleagues in South Africa, Sri Lanka and India following Cape Town 2010 (CT2010).  We are home in time to celebrate my favorite American holiday, Thanksgiving.  I have much to be thankful for this year, especially in light of the recently completed CT2010.

It is far too soon to fully assess the significance of CT2010.  Indeed only the Lord truly knows how CT2010 will impact his church and the world in the years to come.  As I reflect on the Congress, read blogs, emails and articles from participants, I am in awe of God’s blessings on this gathering.  Please join me in praising the Lord for the following:

  1. Sense of wonder at God’s people coming together from nearly every country and corner of the earth – joy that the Majority World Church was the actual majority at CT2010!
  2. Global community of men and women who worked tirelessly to plan and serve CT2010.
  3. Powerful testimony by an 18-year-old North Korean girl. Unforgettable.
  4. Glory of the gospel expounded daily from the book of Ephesians. May the message of Ephesians reverberate around the world.
  5. Miraculous provision of stewards from India, cousins Vijay and Daniel, who took just two hours to solve sophisticated cyber attacks on our websites.
