Michael met Blair Carlson when he was working for the Billy Graham Association in the Set-up Department. When Blair was working on the set-up of the third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelisation held in Cape Town, October 2010, Michael was deeply encouraged and inspired by Blair’s profound and unwavering commitment to proclamation evangelism. In Michael’s opinion there are few people in the world with a greater commitment to this. Michael feels privileged to still be involved in the vision and programme for Mission Africa which flowed out of Cape Town 2010.
