TechnoratiTunnicliffe celebrated the achievements of the WEA in the six years since its last General Assembly in 2002, including the launch of Micah Challenge, a major movement of Christians working with their governments in 41 countries to ensure the fulfillment of the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.
During this year’s General Assembly, the WEA launched a new Leadership Institute to train the leaders of its 128 national alliances and launched new initiatives in the area of peacemaking and HIV and AIDS. Wednesday night also saw the appointment of a new WEA ambassador to the Holy Land.
Looking to the future, Tunnicliffe said the WEA would open up more national alliances and spelled out Iraq and China as areas of particular focus. Tunnicliffe is planning a major tour of China in 2009 at the invitation of the Chinese Government and the state-sanctioned Three Self Church to strengthen relations with the churches and evangelicals there.
“There are so many believers in that country, we have to connect with them. We need to expand our categories of membership. Those who are evangelicals need to come under our tent. We welcome them,” he said.
In closing, Tunnicliffe stressed the need for evangelicals to fulfill the vision of world evangelization together.
“For us to move into the future to tackle the challenges, we must do it together,” he said. “Let’s challenge the biggest problems in the world together not for our sake but for God’s sake, for the sake of the next generations, for the sake of our nations. Let’s work together as Kingdom-minded people for His glory.”
The WEA General Assembly in Thailand officially concludes Thursday.
