Two Students go to Africa for World Conference

Tiffany and Caitlyn in Cape Town!

Caitlyn Powers and Tiffany Komosa returned recently from their trip to Cape Town 2010: The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelism.  They both had a great time and were able to engage with others about social justice and evangelism.  Here's what they had to say about the trip.


Caitlyn says: 
Over 4,000 delegates from 200 different nations around the world made history as they united together at the 3rd Lausanne Congress in Cape Town, South Africa. Through Judson, I had the privilege to serve there and connect with evangelistic leaders and fellow stewards.
During the sessions there was singing, dancing, and powerful speakers, both well known names and individuals who remained nameless to protect themselves from being killed for actively participating in this conference. As a steward I literally had to ask people not to take pictures or recordings of certain speakers.
Hot topics about trafficking, poverty, and youth outreach were discussed, but far greater than the speakers or dialog sessions was the indescribable community of love that was build among all the stewards and participants through the power and unity of the Holy Spirit.

Tiffany had this to say about the experience:

            Serving at Cape Town 2010 Third Lausanne Congress was the experience of a lifetime. It was wonderful to meet fellow stewards from all over the world and hear about what they are doing in their ministry. It was encouraging to meet others with the same passions and struggles in their ministry and be able to uplift each other. Cape Town 2010 was a display of how God is moving and how his people are responding!
