The Fire Has Caught: Rapid Acceleration at the World Evangelical Alliance Meeting

In October 2025, in Seoul, more than 1300 evangelical leaders from 146 countries gathered for the World Evangelical Alliance Conference. Rick Warren and Botrus Mansour, the new general secretary of the World Evangelical Alliance, called for witnessing to the faith and sharing the good news of the resurrection.

“The Gospel for All by 2033” was the slogan repeated in all sessions by all speakers with enthusiasm and conviction.

Rick Warren repeated over and over again:

“If all Christians, without exception, regularly witness to their faith, we will complete the task that Jesus himself entrusted to us before ascending to heaven: Be my witnesses!”

The new General Secretary of the World Evangelical Alliance, Botrus Mansour, did not mince his words.

“We must do everything we can to share the Gospel, the good news of the resurrection, as widely as possible by 2033. That is our mandate as evangelicals.”

The joint booth between Solide Deo Gloria 2033 and JC2033 attracted many representatives from four continents. Each participant was able to place a green sticker on their country, symbolizing their commitment to celebrate 2000 years of the resurrection and to take concrete action for 2033.

Highly motivated, these international leaders are returning to their countries with a clear mission: to embody unity and love in Christian witness and make the Gospel known to all by 2033.
