Fourth Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization
The Fourth Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization (Lausanne 4) was convened in South Korea from September 22 to 28, attracting more than 5,300 people from 200 countries to talk about the global mission to accelerate the fulfillment of the Great Commission. The main topics covered not only the church, mission, and the Holy Spirit, but also the environment, justice, persecution, sexuality, and the younger generation. Alongside the publication of the State of the Great Commission and the Seoul Statement, Lausanne 4 aimed to "let the church declare and display Christ together," addressing challenges for the unfinished task of global evangelization and calling for unity and collaboration.
Reaching Gen Z
China's Generation Z is roughly estimated to be 280 million. Accounting for around 20% of the domestic population, those born between 1996 and 2012 stand out as a characteristic generation influenced by digital devices, diverse truth, global concerns, and mental issues. The church in general admits the difficulties in attracting and retaining those people who are more likely to favor a vibrant, dynamic, and relational faith community rather than traditional church life. Churches in China are exploring how to reach Gen Z and young Christians are finding their own ways to understand the Christian faith.
