Equipping the Saints with Stan Wallace

What role do Christian scholars play in fulfilling the Great Commission? In this compelling presentation from the Workplace Track at the Fourth Lausanne Congress, Dr. Stan Wallace calls the global Church to affirm and support those serving in the academic workplace. As postmodern relativism shapes campuses and cultures, Christian academics are uniquely positioned to bring biblical truth into conversations that shape nations.

Drawing from the Cape Town Commitment and the Apostle Paul’s ministry in Ephesus, Stan reminds us of the power of teaching and scholarship to influence generations. He introduces the Academic Ministry and Educators Network (AMEN), inviting pastors, churches, and fellow workplace leaders to equip and encourage scholars for their essential mission.

Part of the Lausanne Workplace Track Series, this talk invites the Church to rediscover the university as a mission field and scholars as vital workers in God’s redemptive plan.
