Lausanne Southern Ontario Regional Fall Gathering

The Lausanne Movement began in 1974, when Billy Graham and John Stott brought together leaders from 150 nations in Lausanne, Switzerland. Time Magazine called it “a formidable forum, possibly the widest-ranging meeting of Christians ever held.” Since then, Lausanne has continued to connect people across regions, issues, and generations to collaboratively and prayerfully advance God’s mission worldwide.

In Canada, this vision is carried forward through Lausanne Movement Canada, the national committee that exists to advance a Canadian gospel movement by connecting visionary ideas, faithful leadership, relational influence, and strategic generosity so they converge across generations, cultures, regions, and issue networks to shape the future of the Church and society.

This Fall Meet-Up is open to everyone, whether you have been part of Lausanne before or are exploring it for the first time. It is a chance to meet others, share experiences, and consider how we might declare and display Christ together in Quebec, Ottawa, and beyond.

Interactive Collaborate Canvas
Led by Ann Chow, who co-designed and implemented this tool globally at the Fourth Lausanne Congress (L4) in 2024 and will present it this fall at the International EMS Conference. Together, we’ll map how collaboration can move from idea to action in Southern Ontario.

• Connection across generations and sectors
• Space to share your experiences and insights
• Practical tools to help collaboration become more concrete
• Opportunities to engage in Lausanne’s global and Canadian story
• Coffee, light refreshments, and meaningful conversation
