It is addressed to both genders. They inform us that there is only one Gospel. There is only one Saviour. They declare that God is both the Judge and Creator of all men. The Lausanne Covenant believe that faith without works is dead. They tried to figure out and understand how to reach their own area and send missionaries out to other parts of the world, because western missions is disappearing at a fast pace. More than two-thirds of humanity have not yet been evangelized. The Lausanne Covenant admit that they are ashamed that this many people have been neglected in finding the gospel. To fix this they say it is time for all churches to pray earnestly for the salvation of the unreached. …show more content…
