The Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization developed out of the 1974 International Congress on World Evangelization held in Lausanne, Switzerland. The Congress gathered more than 2,300 evangelical leaders from 150 countries to create The Lausanne Covenant, a declaration that provides the theological foundation for intentional world evangelization. The gathering was called by a committee headed by the Rev. Billy Graham.
