This document summarizes the history and key developments from three international Lausanne Congresses on World Evangelization that were held in 1974, 1989, and 2010. It also discusses how the strategies of global Christian missions have shifted from focusing on countries to focusing on distinct people groups, the concept of the 10/40 window, and the Seoul Declaration on diaspora missiology. The document then discusses strategies for focusing Christian missions on global cities and the growing diversity within cities like those in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas. It emphasizes the opportunity but also challenge to share the gospel with all the various ethnic groups represented in the region.
The Emerging Church and The One Project? is a series of PowerPoint presentations asking the question if there is in fact a connection between the two. The purpose of the presentations are not to lambast those who want to lift Jesus up, but rather to allow leaders of the One Project to tell us in their own words (and the words of those promoting the project) what their goals and aspirations really are, and how these goals have been enacted in their past experiences.
Presentation 1 of 10 is a summary of the Emerging Church as defined on Wikipedia. This is a summary of the 17 page article found there which is taken from many leading proponents of the Emerging Church here in America.
Presentations 2 through 4 deal with Leonard Sweet, a leader in the Emerging Church movement and a professor at George Fox University, and many of the nearly 50 books he has authored which express his various viewpoints.
Presentations 5 through 9 deal with the five main leaders of The One Project, four of which graduated with or started DMin degrees from George Fox University under the mentorship of Leonard Sweet. In each presentation an objective look is taken at material in print telling of each leaders work and ministry up to 2012. The question will naturally follow; is this the direction we should be leading our young people in the Adventist Church?
Presentation 10 deals with the One Project gathering in Seattle, February of 2012, looking at the claims of the Project “Jesus. All” and comparing this to what really took place at the gathering. Yes, there was some good points made, and we need to lift Jesus up, but…. We also take a look at a little of the evidence suggesting The One Project is a response to GYC.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

3. Lausanne I: Ralph Winter shifted global mission strategy
from a focus on political boundaries to a focus on distinct
people groups. Winter argued that instead of targeting
countries, mission agencies needed to target the
thousands of people groups worldwide, over half of which
have not been reached with the gospel message.
Lausanne II: Luis Bush first highlighted the need for a
major focus of evangelism in the "Resistant Belt," covering
the middle of the eastern hemisphere. Further research in
mid-1990 led to the 10/40 Window concept, which
contrasts the major needs and few resources devoted to
this part of the world.
Lausanne III : A groundbreaking declaration was
assembled for Cape Town 2010. The “Seoul Declaration
on Diaspora Missiology” summons the Whole Church of
Jesus Christ, including its missions agencies and its
academies to mobilize, train, deploy, support, and
empower Diaspora Kingdom Workers.
4. Refocus: Global Cities
• Biblically, the gospel spread via the cities of the Roman
world. A study of the book of Acts shows the priority
given to cities.
• Strategically, commerce and culture flow through the
cities. The flattening of the world has given large cities
global ties and national influence.
• Globalization has caused large cities to be more similar
than different around the world. Cities have become the
destination of the Diaspora as rural peoples move to
global cities.
• Potential for global harvest represented by 21st Century
cities is un-parrelled due to the diversity of peoples
coming to cities. But we are winning our cities?

Editor's Notes
The vision for Lausanne III was re-stimulate the spirit of Lausanne represented in the Lausanne Covenant: to promote unity, humbleness in service, and a call to action for global evangelization
Where Lausanne I established focus on distinct people groups and Lausanne II focused attention on the 10/40 window, Lausanne III focuses attention on a new move of God – the Global Diaspora. The Diaspora is the movement of many different peoples all across the globe to destinations not within their national or cultural boundaries. The great majority of this movement is into cities.
