In this conversation, Tina Waldrom talks with Julie-Anne Laird, Co-Regional Director For Lausanne Movement in Australia, about the upcoming Lausanne Congress, focusing on the importance of collaboration and the growing role of digital evangelism. The discussion reflects on the themes of previous congresses, which have concentrated on enhancing the Great Commission, addressing social justice alongside evangelism, and encouraging every Christian to view themselves as a missionary. This time, the goal is to unite the global church in declaring and displaying Christ together, recognising the power of collective effort in spreading the gospel.

The interview also touches on the shifting landscape of Christianity worldwide, noting significant growth in Africa, South America, and Asia, contrasted with a decline in missionaries from Western countries. In places like Australia, this decline is linked to societal apathy and the comfort that comes from wealth. The episode highlights the urgent need for collaboration and innovation in evangelism, particularly through digital means, to reach new audiences and adapt to changing global dynamics. As the Lausanne Congress approaches, there's a palpable excitement about its potential to inspire and equip the church to reach and disciple millions around the world.
