From Hawassa to Seoul: My Journey to Lausanne 2024

It was late afternoon at Hawassa University, and I was anxiously waiting for my professor. My final project presentation was the last step before graduation. But my mind was already on my next journey—from Hawassa to Addis Ababa and then onto a flight to Seoul, South Korea, for the Global Campus Mission 2007. Hosted by Korea Campus Crusade for Christ , it was a gathering of over 15,000 students from around the world.

That moment shaped my leadership journey and deepened my passion for global missions.

Now, in 2024, I’m heading to Seoul for the Lausanne Movement congress 4. This gathering brings together Christian leaders from various sectors of the global Church, offering a glimpse of the body of Christ flavored with diverse representation.

As I prepare for Lausanne 4, I’m filled with a renewed sense of purpose, eagerly wondering what God will do this time and excited to envision new possibilities of making Jesus known to everyone, everywhere.

What I’m hopeful for at Lausanne 4:

✅Experiencing God’s glory through worship and mission-focused discussions.

✅Listening to God and others to learn from diverse perspectives and insights on the State of The Great Commission.

✅Dreaming and activating what the year 2050 looks like with increased evangelism about Jesus. I love how the State of the Great Commission Report highlights the opportunities for advancing digital missions.

✅Together with my colleagues at Jesus Film, we will be sharing our product and services—both existing and forthcoming—at the booth in the Digital Discovery Center and exploring partnership opportunities.

✅Networking, reconnecting, and having fun – I’m excited to see old friends and, of course, when it’s time for pictures, instead of saying “cheese,” we’ll be saying “kimchi!” 😄

Would you join me in prayer as I embark on this journey? Your prayers for the gathering and the work God is doing are deeply appreciated. I expect God to move in new and even greater ways in 2024
