From any standpoint the missionary task is humanly impossible … It is as impossible for us to do it as it was for those disciples to feed five thousand men with five loaves and two fishes, but as surely as that was done this will be done. The world is going to be evangelized by a miracle – the constant miracle which is the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ  –   John Owens 1674

The ministry of the Holy Spirit in the work of missions has been absent in most discussions on world evangelism. I would like to begin a intentional global conversation on the need of more emphasis on the need/work of the Holy Spirit in missions. I have been blessed by all the has been taught at the Lausanne Cape Town 2010 Congress but there is a noticible absence of the role of the Holy Spirit in reaching the world in world evangelism and missions. I hope this discussion will sensitze us and the Lausanne to the esstenial role of God Holy Spirit in evangelism/missions. To stimulate the discussions I would like to offer the following scriptures: Genesis 24, John 14-16, Acts
