Step 2
Regardless of how long you have been a Christian on mission, in this second step on our Journey to the Fourth Lausanne Congress we encourage you to humbly submit your heart and life to the words of Jesus who teaches us that there is no mission without the Holy Spirit’s empowering presence.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (ESV)

All revival and renewal begins with fervent prayer.
A step-by-step guide practice of weaving Scripture and prayer together through several cycles of reading and listening to the Spirit. It is an invitation to slow down, trust the Spirit to guide you, meet with the Lord and savour His presence.
Before His ascension, the Lord Jesus promised ‘power from on high’, which would enable his followers to be His witnesses from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. Throughout Acts, powerful manifestations of the Spirit’s presence confirmed the Apostle’s proclamation that Jesus Christ is Lord. The narrative of Acts displays the dynamic presence of the Spirit of those who carry Jesus to the world. It demonstrates that there can be no mission or advance of the Kingdom without the Spirit’s power.

At different steps on our Journey to the Congress, we will be releasing sections of the State of the Great Commission Report for you to read and engage with. The report’s findings urge us to ask critical questions about the state of global mission and the future direction of our evangelical efforts
Measuring the progress of the Great Commission is an infinitely complex task which aims to track the ineffable movement of God. Yet, we can measure a wide variety of human activity faithful to the Great Commission. The following sheds light on the current status of a wide variety of traditional missiological measures.
Christianity is a dynamic and living faith which has experienced notable global shifts in the last 100 years, including growth of Christianity in the Majority World, the rise of Pentecostalism, and the continued addition of denomination, leading to the question, “What is Polycentric Christianity?”
