Lausanne Europe 20/21 will be the first Europe-wide Lausanne gathering since the original Lausanne Congress was convened by Billy Graham and John Stott in Switzerland in 1974. Approximately 800 pastors, mission leaders, workplace professionals, and scholars will come together with a singular focus on the re-evangelization of Europe. This strategic conference is the focal point for a multi-year initiative of research, analysis, training, and collaboration in reaching Europe with the gospel.

There is no place in the world with such a rich Christian heritage as Europe, which was the first continent to be Christianised but sadly is also the first continent to be de-Christianised. Today, Europe is a mission field. However, it is obvious that God is doing a new thing in Europe. Little droplets of rain have been softening up the soil, forming rivulets here and there, gradually creating streams, and are now converging into new channels of God's life-giving work across the continent. There is a growing sense of a Kairos moment.
