INCHEON, South Korea — Billy Wilson called on Evangelicals to open their hearts to being “accelerated” by the Holy Spirit to witness for Christ to keep pace with a fast-changing world grappling with speedy developments in areas of general knowledge, technology, inventions and science.

The fourth president of Oral Roberts University and a key leader in the contemporary Pentecostal movement, serving in the Empowered21 global relational network for believers, Wilson spoke on “The work of the Holy Spirit” as a morning plenary speaker at the Fourth Lausanne Global Congress on World Evangelism.

As the global population surges upwards, with latest figures showing 8 billion people on the planet in 2022, the growth of Christianity remains “stagnant” and this is a major concern, he said.
