TO:CHRISTIAN MEDIA DATE:November 8, 1999 RE:GLOBAL EVANGELIZATION NETWORK NEW NAME AND LEADERSHIP CHOSEN FOR GLOBAL EVANGELIZATION NETWORK Leaders primarily affiliated with three international evangelical movements have combined forces to create a global evangelization network. This new international network, called the Great Commission Global Roundtable (GCGR), welcomes membership from other networks and ministries committed to extending Christ's message to the world in the 21st century. The Roundtable resulted after joint meetings of the World Evangelical Fellowship, the Lausanne Movement for World Evangelization, and the AD2000 and Beyond Movement in August in Dallas and earlier in Norway. A facilitation team chosen at the Dallas meeting picked the name, Great Commission Global Roundtable, to emphasize obedience to Christ's mandate to evangelize all peoples while listening to God and one another "around the table" of the Lord. The Roundtable's purpose is to hear, serve and connect diverse segments of the Body of Christ in hopes of achieving closer coordination and cooperation in sharing the Gospel. The Roundtable's coordinators for the next two years are Bertil Ekstrom (Brazil), chair; Iman Santoso (Indonesia), vice-chair; and John Robb (USA), international coordinator. The coordinators and international task force members welcome suggestions and help in contacting networks and ministries that should be part of the Roundtable.
