The vision came from a report in the 1970s, which noticed that many peoples in the world had not heard the Gospel.

First meeting in Lausanne
The first idea for the vision came in 1974 when all the churches in the world met in Lausanne.
Outcome:
there was a need to have structures for evangelism. But in the conscience of many people, Mission means evangelization. So it is in the same year that people started to talk about holistic mission; and the fifth (5) point of Lausanne document talks about development as part of the church activities
