The Lausanne Younger Leaders Meeting in Port Dickson, Malaysia seemed to go well. Lots of younger people went – over 500 from 110 countries. There were reports at Christian Today and Christianity Today and you can check out the offical LYG blog to find some more participants.
Some of them blogged:
Life in colour
Getting bloggy with fish
Sivin Kit who didnt have far to go.
Dwight Friesen had a good honest report.
I didn’t go to YLG 2006 but I was present in 2001 at the same place – Port Dickson – for the Great Commission Roundtable which was a large gathering organized by Lausanne, WEF and AD2000. In fact, Donny from Indonesia and myself (non-western and western emerging leaders) were asked to address the were the larger missions conference and share our thoughts which was an honor for both of us.
This time around, they capped off the age limit to 35 this year but i did get an invite to go and be an old guy there. Glad it went well.

Sherman went to the “Asian” conference in Philippines. I almost couldn’t make it to this younger leaders gathering (which is a long story). I think I need to find some time and put more thoughts on my blog on the event. I did feel a little bit on the “old” end at 34! :-)I think Dwight too ..
thanks – i took shermans link off.
well then at 51 i am ancient of days. which means my boys are right.
Hi Andrew, was there too. Got to meet Sivin, Dwight, Brett-FISH actually became a best friend. Would have been great to drink a beer with you (too) by the pool. Sometimes, somewhere. Don’t want to self-promote (too much), but I posted quite inconsistently…
