The Global Convention on Christian Faith & World Evangelization was held virtually in Jakarta, Indonesia. Stephen Tong and other world Christian leaders spoke at the convention.
Initiated by Reformed Evangelical Movement International and Stephen Tong Evangelistic Ministries International, which was founded by the Indonesian Chinese pastor Stephen Tong, the convention was live-streamed from October 1 to 6 except for a sermon that Tong preached at the Messiah Cathedral.
The host writes on the convention’s official website, “Why Jakarta 2020 – Global Convention? Why choose the title ‘Christian Faith and World Evangelization’?”
The reply is, “The Lord has blessed Rev. Tong’s ministries for the past 63 years, especially in promoting and teaching the sound doctrine of Reformed Theology, not only to pastors and servants of God, but also to laymen. Theology should not be monopolized by church workers only but should be available to every Christian. Dr. Tong’s ministries are well known for calling people to repent and challenging Christians to serve The Lord Jesus Christ faithfully, encouraging them to share the Gospel. As he likes to say: ‘Church without evangelizing is committing suicide’.”
In addition, “Rev. Tong has had this idea of a Global Convention for many years. We have started planning this event since last year, but due to the pandemic, we decided to do it online. God is gracious because He allows this event to take place. Please pray for this event to be a blessing from God to Christians across the world.”
As more than 10,000 people from 47 countries registered, the hosts hoped there would be at least 60% from Indonesia, and 40% from the rest of the world.
The six-day convention included morning and evening sessions that were simultaneously translated into English, Chinese, or Indonesian.
As the main speaker for the first morning session and the last evening lecture, Tong also spoke in the Sunday service.
There were 30 renowned speakers who shared in English, Indonesian, or Chinese.
The English speakers included Tim Keller, John Piper, DA Carson, Os Guinness, and Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr. They gave sermons and lectures on the Gospels, Paul's vision for preaching where Christ has not been named, Christ and culture, the application of the Reformed and Exodus to the future of freedom, and theological education and evangelism, respectively.
Among the Chinese speakers were Rev. Dr. Jason Yeung, the former Principal of the Canadian Chinese School of Theology at Ambrose Seminary; Peter Liu, Vice President of The Chinese Baptist Fellowship of the United States and Canada, and Enoch Wang, ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church.
10月1-6日，普世基督教信仰与福音探讨大会将会在雅加达举行，唐崇荣与世界多位知名基督教领袖主讲。因为今年疫情的原因，此次大会除了在唐崇荣牧师牧会的雅加达弥赛亚大教堂举行外，将同步通过线上播放的方式并免费参加。
为什么是“雅加达2020年普世研讨大会”？为何要选择“普世基督教信仰与福音”这个大题目？对此，主办方在官网上回答说：“上帝已经赐福唐牧师63年的事奉，特别是在推广和教导归正福音神学方面。不只是针对牧师或上帝的仆人，也是针对平信徒。神学不应该被教会所垄断，也应当与每一位信徒分享。唐牧师事奉的重要原则是呼召罪人悔改，并推动基督徒尽心尽力服事主耶稣基督，鼓励他们努力传福音。正如他所说：‘教会不传福音就是自杀。’”
官网上，主办方在会前还介绍说，“唐牧师已经计划举办本次普世研讨大会很多年了。我们去年已经开始筹备这次的研讨大会，但是由于疫情的关系，我们最终决定通过线上播放的方式进行。这是上帝的恩典，请为本次研讨大会祷告，愿上帝赐福普世的基督徒。”目前他们已收到来自47个国家一万多人报名。主办方盼望其中有60％是来自印尼，40％是来自海外。
大会共进行六天，每天早上和晚上两个环节，包括早上讲座08.00-12.00和晚上讲座17.00-20.30，并且每场讲座 将提供 3 种语言：英文、中文、印尼文（原声加两门语言的翻译）。
唐崇荣作为主领讲员，每天的早上第一场和晚上最后一场都是他来主讲，包括10.4日的主日礼拜。同时，邀请了30位讲员，英文，印尼语和华语讲员都涵盖其中。其中英文讲员包括知名的提姆•凯勒（Tim Keller）牧师、约翰•派博牧师（John Piper）、神学家卡森博士（DA Carson）、《一生的呼召》作者葛尼斯（Os Guinness)、第三千禧年事工的创立者理查德L．柏瑞特博士(Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr.)等，华人讲员包括加拿大恩道华人神学院院长杨庆球牧师、刘彼得牧师、王一乐牧师等。
