Equipping the Saints with Joseph Vijayam

What if the global Church fully empowered believers to see their workplaces as platforms for mission? In this strategic talk from the Workplace Track at the Fourth Lausanne Congress, Joseph Vijayam casts vision for a movement where clergy and laity collaborate to unleash the power of everyday work for the glory of God.

Tracing the development of workplace-focused networks within Lausanne, Joseph highlights the growing ecosystem of marketplace, entrepreneurial, academic, and tentmaking ministries. He calls for deeper collaboration, contextual resource sharing, and whole-life discipleship—reminding us that workplace ministry isn’t a side initiative but central to the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

Part of the Lausanne Workplace Track Series, this talk is a powerful call to activate believers around the world for mission through their Monday-to-Saturday lives.
