World evangelization needs to be conducted by both older churches (sending churches) and younger churches (receiving churches) because the distinction between the former and the latter has disappeared. God uses great resources from the younger churches for world evangelization.The church, defined as all Christian churches without regard to denominational distinction, needs to understand the urgency of the evangelistic task. More than two-thirds of mankind have yet to be evangelized and there is a great receptivity to the gospel in many parts of the world. The church should be ashamed that so many souls have been neglected and unreached for Christ.The church needs to understand the significance of evangelism as it relates to different world cultures. Missionaries need to be sensitive to different cultures through which the gospel can be effectively communicated to different people groups. The gospel message needs to be presented in such a way that it can be meaningful to the people.The church needs to develop indigenous leadership to enable native leaders in every country to evangelize their people, plant the indigenous churches according to their needs, and extend God's kingdom. Christian leaders are not born but made through appropriate training and education. The church needs to follow Jesus Christ in terms of making disciples of all nations.The church needs to understand the spiritual conflict involved when the church is active in world evangelization. Churches are engaged in constant spiritual warfare with the principalities and powers of evil seeking to overthrow the Lord's church and frustrate its mission of world evangelization. The church needs to equip itself with the word of God and prayer.The church needs to understand the importance of religious freedom and the seriousness of religious persecution throughout the world. The church needs to pray for world leaders and call upon them to guarantee freedom of thought, conscience, and freedom to practice and propagate religion according to God's will. The church needs to understand the power of the Holy Spirit and to believe the Holy Spirit will help the church to effectively carry out world evangelization. World evangelization calls for conviction of sin, faith in Christ, a new birth, and Christian growth. The church needs to be filled with the Holy Spirit to become the true missionary church.The church needs to believe in the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ to consummate His salvation and His judgement. The church needs to remember that God will perfect His kingdom which anticipates the new heaven and new earth where righteousness will dwell and God will rule forever.The Lausanne Movement for World Evangelization is based on the Great Commission and the Great Commandment. The Lausanne theology of missions is based upon the Lausanne Covenant, the Manila Manifesto, and the Capetown Commitment which were officially adopted as the promise, the declaration, and the devotion of the church to carry out the world evangelization until the return of Jesus Christ.

This paper aims at studying the meaning and tasks of the third Lausanne congress on world evangelization in Cape Town, 2010. The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization was held in Cape Town International Convention Center with WEA from October 16 to 25, and it was entitled officially as “Cape Town 2010, The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization.” 4200 delegation out of 197 countries around the world participated in the congress which was held after the first Lausanne Conference in 1974 and the second Manila conference in 1989, and its scale had been the biggest since 1974. One third among its participants was women, and this indicates the characteristics of ecumenical movement in evangelism mission because the location where it was held was Africa. The qualification of participants in this congress is extremely personal, not the representative of churches. This shows that it is much more opened convention than CWME, another ecumenical conference, in which the only representatives of membership churches can participate, and it is more ecumenical convention. The theme of Ⅲ Lausanne Congress is ‘God in Christ, Reconciling the World to Himself’(2 Corinthians 5:19), and the congress deeply discussed how to testify Jesus Christ’s teachings in our society. During the congress discussed 4 topics everyday, and also it tried to present various issues in the church to world churches and interpretate them from a point of view in evangelism. Last day of the congress, the Cape Town Commitment were distributed. Doug Birdsall as a chairman said that it consisted of theological affirmation and missiological priorities. The former, which is theological basis based on Ⅰ and Ⅱ Lausanne Conference, means language’s supplement under the missionary situation in the 21st century, and the latter is to set the order of priority as an action plan. In other words, it is to decide what it should do in 10 or 15 years. The commitment has preamble and consists of 10 chapters. The preamble says that this has two meanings making sure of the devotion for vision and goals to Lausanne movement. First, it says that Ⅰ Lausanne Conference was for the tasks of world evangelization and its important result was Lausanne Covenant, and Ⅱ Lausanne Conference, Manila conference in 1989, which made strategic partnership over 300 for world evangelization suggested continuous devotion on the tasks. Second, it confesses that mentioning the devotion for Lausanne Covenant(1974) and the Manila Manifesto(1989) which was the key documents of Lausanne movement, we were not devoted to them. As Cape Town commitment consists of the language of love, every topic from chapter 1 to 10 contains the word, ‘love’. The word as reliance, obedience and passion to Lord expresses Lausanne commitment which churches preach the gospel to world as love to the gospel. It means love to the gospel as good news, love to every church as God's people, and our love to all the world.
