Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization

== Lausanne II, Manila 1989 ==
Following the [[First International Congress on World Evangelization|First Lausanne Congress]] (Lausanne I), the international working groups, issue groups, and regional committees continued to collaborate and host regional congresses and smaller gatherings. Then in 1989 the Lausanne Movement hosted its most ambitious event since [[First International Congress on World Evangelization|Lausanne I]] in [[Manila|Manila, Philippines]]. More than 4,000 participants from 173 nations, far more than the number of United Nations members at the time, gathered in Manila. Many commented that such expansive global representation provided a foretaste of heaven.<ref>{{Cite web |last=JayHartwell |date=2007-07-27 |title=Manila: A "Town Meeting" and A Manifesto |url=https://lausanne.org/gatherings/related/manila-a-qtown-meetingq-and-a-manifesto |access-date=2023-01-12 |website=Lausanne Movement |language=en-US}}</ref>

Compared with the [[First International Congress on World Evangelization|First Lausanne Congress]], Lausanne II enjoyed notable involvement from the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, women, and laity. Since [[First International Congress on World Evangelization|Lausanne I]], [[Billy Graham]]’s involvement in the Lausanne Movement had been limited due to his focus on his particular form of [[evangelism]]. Where [[First International Congress on World Evangelization|Lausanne I]] had been organized and funded almost entirely by the [[Billy Graham Evangelistic Association]], Lausanne II was much more independent, and was organized by the Lausanne Committee and funded by those who embraced the “spirit of Lausanne.”<ref name=":3" />

=== The Manila Manifesto ===
As a result of the Second Lausanne Congress (Lausanne II), ''The Manila Manifesto'' was issued, a follow-up to the [[Lausanne Covenant]], wherein a number of ways the movement was evolving were outlined. Albeit carefully constructed, with the purpose of bringing together the various strands of the congress and pointing towards the future, ''The Manila Manifesto'' was not as well-received as the [[Lausanne Covenant]]. It is possible this was due in part to the lack of infrastructure available to Lausanne to follow up on many of the achievements of the congress.

Outcomes from Lausanne II which issued a global impact include the concept of the [[10/40 window]], which shaped missionary strategy for decades to follow, and over 300 new working partnerships focusing on a wide range of critical missional issues, particularly located in the [[Third World#Majority World|Majority World]].
