This is an extract from ‘The Cape Town Commitment” : Confession of Faith and a Call to Action-an extract from the recent Lausanne Conference We Love the Gospel of God As disciples of Jesus, we are gospel people.

The speakers were awesome and challenging. The fellowship was rich and so was the food. The good news is the cost was less but due to a spirit of generosity, the Association came out of it...
