Let the earth hear His voice

All plenaries, workshops and roundtables were oriented towards the proclamation of the Gospel in our personal and collective spheres of influence.

These days during the Lausanne Congress 2024 in Seoul, I remembered the motto of the first Congress in 1974 in Switzerland, which was: “Let the Earth hear His voice”.



Although this phrase may seem very grandiloquent, it perfectly describes the spirit of the World Evangelistic Congress through its four intercontinental editions over the last fifty years.



All plenaries, workshops and round tables have been essentially oriented towards the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus in every possible way, in our personal and collective spheres of influence, taking into account human diversity and the different breaches to be reached wisely.

Gentle and persuasive personal evangelism is one of the most interesting intentional ways of reaching out to people in general.

Mass evangelism through music, popular testimonies and proclamation of the Gospel also needs to take over the public square, streets and avenues of our cities, otherwise all kinds of popular events that sinuously ideologise the masses with anti-values will fill them.



 



Personal and relational witness



But one of the white fields for the harvest, which until very recently went totally unnoticed, is our personal witness in our regular workplaces through our daily living, being willing to help and give the best of ourselves to our co-workers.



As children of peace we can also mediate in interpersonal conflicts in a positive and prudent manner, and of course appropriately share the blessings of the Gospel and the new life in Christ with whom it may concern.



Undoubtedly the audio-visual as well as the written media play a very important role in communicating the Gospel and its good values for human coexistence.

The witness of life and behaviour in our social relations can also be seen and understood as an open letter read by all men and women in our immediate circle, written with the ink of the Spirit of the living God....

As long as the public powers, the media powers and other hidden powers are ahead of us we will be missing great opportunities to reach out to the lost in one way or another.

We are the divine agents to spread and glorify the Word of our good God in every corner of our country, in Europe and to the ends of the earth.



Undoubtedly we are the voice, the hands and the feet of Christ to announce to the whole world the virtues of the One who called us out of spiritual darkness into His admirable light.



As we heard repeatedly these days, we need to unite both in our local communities and in our cities to develop collaborative actions to reach the greatest number of people for Christ, before it is too late for many.
