LMW

God is calling pastors to serve Him all over the world. Up to 85% of those called will be unable to attend seminary or receive biblical training. These faithful servants are crying out for biblical and theological resources that will help them preach, teach, and evangelize – transforming homes, neighborhoods, and entire communities as they share the gospel.
LMW’s partner ministry, The Theological Book Network, ships books and resources from their warehouse in Michigan to pastors and seminaries in remote parts of the world. The pastors who receive books are so grateful. We received this from a seminary leader in Zimbabwe: “The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® was a huge blessing for our library. Our dean was excited about its goodness and usefulness. We sent a batch to our satellite campus in Mozambique.”
Another shipment will be leaving soon to go to our partners and trainers in Nigeria. Please pray for the pastors who receive these books and resources – that God will enlighten and encourage them as they study His Word.

Marcos Buzzelli of the Argentine Bible Society is working with LMW to implement a Spanish version of Lystra Global in Argentina. We are thankful for Marcos and the Argentine Bible Society’s partnership with LMW, and for the talents and skills he and his team are bringing to bear as we move forward to equip pastors with the materials they need – in their native language.

Please pray for Marcos and Rodrigo Guerra as they work on this project, and for the Argentine Bible Society, which is committed to equipping pastors across that land with biblical and theological materials.

Today through February 4, Timothy Olonade will lead a pastor training event in Fugar City, Nigeria, for hundreds of pastors. These men and women are gathering to study the Bible and to learn more about their call, mission and ministry as pastors and leaders in the church.

Christianity is growing throughout Nigeria in spite of severe persecution. Many churches are planted, but quality biblical leadership is critical to their continued success. Please join us in praying for this training session in Nigeria, for the pastors who are participating, for Timothy, and for God’s Holy Spirit to move within His people as His name is proclaimed.

On January 22, leaders from The Grace Institute travelled to Uganda to serve two groups of pastors who have formed under The Good Shepherd Foundation. Those pastors who received Bibles the last time they visited are invited to a small conference room in the town. The Grace Institute will be teaching them the basics of studying their Bible and also the basics of expository preaching. This intimate small group setting is a sign of maturity within these groups of pastors.

Please pray for these leaders as they gather in Uganda: That God will reveal His Word in amazing ways; that they would be encouraged and enlightened as they continue in pastoral leadership; that the people of Uganda will be blessed as God’s Word spreads.
