AGOURA HILLS, Calif. — The Joni and Friends International Disability Center is engaging in a month-long conversation on the website of The Lausanne Movement focusing on evangelism to people with disabilities. The Global Conversation Project is designed to spur the local church into action and to emphasize selected portions of the Cape Town Commitment, which resulted from the Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization held in Cape Town, South Africa, in 2010.
“We at Joni and Friends are passionate about taking the gospel to people with disabilities, and we want to highlight the section of the Cape Town Commitment called ‘Christ’s Peace for People with Disabilities’ during this month,” said ministry founder and CEO Joni Eareckson Tada, who has for many years served as senior associate on disability concerns for The Lausanne Movement.
Conversations are conducted in eight different languages so that individuals from many nations can be involved. For more information or to sign up, visit conversation.lausanne.org.
