The Global Prayer & Missions Movement Database

Strategic Partnerships for the Propagation of Another Gospel

 

~ I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel. ~ Galatians 1:6

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Based on original sources, this ever-expanding database lays out the inter-connections of the Lausanne Consultation for World Evangelization [LCWE] with the Global Prayer & Missions Movement -- mobilized prayer initiatives in the local churches. The LCWE’s goal is the evangelization* of the world during the early years of the new millennium.

 

*Evangelization is a term coined by Harold Ockenga of Fuller Theological Seminary. As we shall discover, evangelization carries a very different meaning from the biblical command of “[doing] the work of an evangelist” (II Tim. 4:5) -- the sharing of the Gospel and bringing souls into the Church until the fullness of the Gentiles is complete (Romans 11:25). The very roots/origins of evangelization are contrary to Scripture.

 

Long before the first Lausanne Consultation convened in 1974 under the leadership of Billy Graham, this global mission master-plan was conceived and mapped out. Seemingly, the movement began in the 1930s in the Forest Home Christian Conference Center of Henrietta Mears and was further developed at Fuller Theological Seminary. However, as will be shown in the forthcoming report, the global missions/prayer movement dates back to the formation of the Evangelical Alliance in 1846 in the Grand Lodge of England headquarters at Freemason Hall, London.  The Evangelical Alliance is the parent organization of the World Evangelical Fellowship, which serves the United Nations agenda as a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Special Consultative Status with UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).

 

The Missions Movement and the Prayer Movement are intertwined; prayer is organized to support the evangelization missionaries. Truly there are believers who have committed their lives to serving the Lord on the mission field, but if they are in a partnership with Lausanne, as the majority are, they need to understand the system they are serving. The prayer warriors who support them need to know the same. Christians who are involved in evangelism and intercessory prayer must be guided by the precepts of Scripture, rather than the innovations of men:

 

I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies…

Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

~ Psalm 119:125 & 128

 

Our purpose is to present the facts about the Global Prayer & Missions Movement:

 

What is the history?

How is it organized?

Who are the leaders?

How is it being implemented in the local churches?

 

Billy Graham's statement on a universal religion reveals the false gospel of the evangelization movement:

 

“…that’s what God is doing today, He’s calling people out of the world for His name, whether they come from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world, or the non-believing world, they are members of the Body of Christ because they’ve been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus, but they know in their hearts that they need something that they don't have, and they turn to the only light that they have, and I think that they are saved, and that they’re going to be with us in heaven.

“…and the Roman Catholic Church has changed. They open their arms to welcome us and we have the support of the Catholic Church almost everywhere we go. And I think that we must come to the place where we keep our eyes on Jesus Christ, not on what denomination or what church or what group we belong to.” - May 31, 1997 Interview of Billy Graham by Robert Schuller

 

Leaders of the ecumenical Lausanne/AD 2000 & Beyond Movement are taking well-meaning, but undiscerning Christians on a route that parallels but is separate from the narrow path of Scripture. We pray that this database will serve as a wake up call for those participants in the Global Prayer & Missions Movement who are genuinely seeking to do the will of the Lord.

 

About the Leaders of the Lausanne Consultation / AD2000 United Prayer Movement:  

 

They claim that God birthed this movement.

As Apostles and Prophets of this movement, they claim they are called to identify the emerging leaders in each nation.

Their work centers around creating a mapping system / databank of the world’s populations ostensibly for prayer purposes.

They have introduced New Age/pagan terminology/concepts: vision casting, prayerwalking, prayer journeys/ journeyers, spiritual mapping, synchronized prayers in symbolic territorial locations, identifying/exorcising territorial spirits, redeeming the land, engaging in battle with the Queen of Heaven, city transformation, etc.

Their strategies and methodologies were developed in the 1930s at Fuller Theological Seminary.

They are ecumenical -- abandoning sound doctrine for religious unity, even partnering with those who reject the inerrancy of Scripture.

 

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ;

to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. ~ Hebrews 13:20-21

“A new kind of scholarship program for theological education was envisioned in 1953 by two nationally known educators, Nathan Pusey, President of Harvard University, and Henry Pitney Van Dusen, President of Union Theological Seminary, New York… Pusey and Van Dusen were not alone, and they were able to convince the Rockefeller Brothers Fund to support a new initiative that would enable highly qualified college graduates considering but undecided on a ministerial career to enroll in an exploratory year of theological studies. In 1954 an eminent board of directors was established under Pusey's leadership in close cooperation with the American Association of Theological Schools to guide the new program…”
