·“The
greatest problem for God in His redemptive mission for the world is His
own people. What hurts God most is not just the sin of the world, but
the failure, disobedience and rebellion of those He has redeemed.”
—Chris
Wright, international director of Langham Partnership International and
retiring chair of the Lausanne Theology Working Group, during the Third
Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization held in Cape Town, South
Africa, in the fall. The meeting brought together 4,200 hand-picked
Christian leaders to discuss missions strategies for the 21st century.
