Carey, the father of modern missions, "planned a congress on world evangelization to be held in Cape Town in 1810, which never came to fruition. Cape Town 2010 will fulfill that great aspiration."

(South Africa)—One year from now, from October 16-25, Cape Town, South Africa, will host The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization. Called Cape Town 2010, it will draw 4,000 evangelical leaders and influencers from 200 nations, servants of Christ in church leadership, mission, academia and the professions.

As reported in Inspire News, the Congress is centered around the theme: "God in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself."

Gideon Para-Mallam from Jos, Nigeria, an International Deputy Director of The Lausanne Movement, said: "Inviting Africa to host this Congress is a wonderful recognition, indeed a celebration, of the African Church. Cape Town 2010 will show the world an Africa where God is at work in a redemptive and transforming way."

"With the majority of Christians now in Africa, Latin America, and Asia, we must establish a new global equilibrium on the basis of shared vision and shared calling," said Doug Birdsall, Executive Chairman. "Christ's gifts are given to us to share, and we become the global Body of Christ on earth as we practice that sharing."

According to the report, William Carey, the British missionary to India often referred to as "the father of modern mission," planned a congress on world evangelization to be held in Cape Town in 1810, which never came to fruition. Cape Town 2010 will fulfill that great aspiration.
