About LCJE

How did LCJE begin?

In 1980, The Lausanne Committee for World Evangelization (LCWE) sponsored the Consultation on World Evangelization (COWE) in Pattaya, Thailand. “Reaching Jews” was one of the 17 mini-consultation groups at that event. The enthusiasm of the leaders in the field of Jewish evangelism who attended to expand the network gave rise to the formation of a task force, now called the Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism (LCJE).

What has happened since?

LCJE has since 1983 met for international consultations every 3-4 years. The different LCJE chapters have met on a regular basis. There are regional chapters in North America, Europe, Israel, South Africa, Australasia, Japan, Korea, and Latin America. To find the contact information on the different Area Coordinators see Here. For papers from the various conferences go to Papers.

The LCJE Bulletin has been published since 1984 to keep LCJE members up to date on what is happening around the world in the field of Jewish evangelism.
