INTRODUCTION
We, members of the Church of Jesus Christ, from more than 150 nations, participants in the In-ternational Congress on World Evangelization at Lausanne, praise God for his great salvation and rejoice in the fellowship he has given us with himself and with each other. We are deeply stirred by what God is doing in our day, moved to penitence by our failures and challenged by the unfinished task of evangelization. We believe the Gospel is God's good news for the whole world, and we are determined by his grace to obey Christ's commission to proclaim it to all man-kind and to make disciples of every nation. We desire, therefore, to affirm our faith and our re-solve, and to make public our covenant.
