Beebe To Join Global Church in Korea

Westmont President Gayle D. Beebe has been serving as a delegate at the Fourth Lausanne Congress for World Evangelization on Sept. 22-28 in Incheon, South Korea. He has served as a college president for more than 25 years (18 at Westmont) and received his invitation through the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities. Beebe joins about 5,000 delegates from around the world, including thousands more attending virtually, making it the largest representation since the movement began in 1974.

“The gathering is important because it attempts to articulate the contours of our Christian faith, including the sources of authority and guidance for our rule of faith,” Beebe says.

Billy Graham convened the first gathering with John Stott as a global movement to mobilize Christian leaders to collaborate for world evangelization.
