The State of the Great Commission Report uncovered 25 “gaps” in completing the Great Commission. In this video, we cover the great (and a couple of not-so-great) parts of Lausanne’s implementation of 25 special “gap” tracks that helped us understand better how to live out the Great Commission and Great Commandment in the contexts about which we care most. Also, we wrap up yesterday’s sessions on servanthood, young leaders and reconciliation.
Thanks for summarizing that stuff, Doug!
I absolutely agree with you, Doug, on the frustrations of the gap sessions. I was also in the Least Reached Groups gap. Our group had no idea what we were really working towards and we had a big drop-off in attendance. We sent our canvas each day by text because the hub was not working well. There was no synthesis of what groups had come up with each day. This would have been a way to build enthusiasm and momentum. I also joined the Issue Network for Least Reached Groups in the first day. We broke up into regions. Perhaps, this would have been a good launch to the gap. I would have preferred to work in a group where there is some common vision. I like your idea of a case study. We did form a CAT but it is more like a WhatsApp networking group. But the person who uploaded the CAT has not connected us on WhatsApp yet. Members of the group will hear anything from Lausanne. Only the person who uploaded the info. So I feel, too, that this was a lost opportunity. But the tool and process is good for any team or network.
Hi Charlotte. I guess misery loves company. : ) I guess, though, I’m glad I didn’t miss something that all others caught. Let’s focus our thinking, now, on making the most of the increased capacity we hopefully acquired at Lausanne. Thanks again, Charlotte.
