Leadership Ministries Worldwide’s Online Biblical Training System

In Acts 16, the apostle Paul met a young man named Timothy in the city of Lystra. As Paul mentored this new “son in the faith,” Timothy became an effective leader in the early church, helping Paul establish and shepherd many of the first congregations of believers.

Today, millions of trainers, missionaries, and church planters in the global church are raising up and training the next generation of leaders like Timothy. As many as 85% of them have no biblical training. Lystra Global was developed by Leadership Ministries Worldwide as a powerful tool using technology to train, connect, and empower this new generation.

Cloud-Based Software for Training, Translating, and Theological Resources

Lystra Global is a unique software system that makes biblical resources and training easily accessible. The system connects Bible trainers to students, trainers to trainers, and all users to The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® and other resources that will empower them to preach and teach effectively. A cloud-based, crowd-sourced translating system allows resources to be translated into languages spoken around the world.

Launching Lystra Global

The Global Proclamation Congress for Pastoral Trainers, Bangkok, Thailand, June, 2016

Enthusiasm has been high among our international ministry partners who are testing Lystra Global. We will launch Lystra Global this summer at the Global Proclamation Congress in Thailand – a conference with anticipated attendance of over 5,000 Bible trainers from countries worldwide. Introducing this unique system to so many international trainers gives us the opportunity to put The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® in the hands of thousands of pastors.

At Leadership Ministries Worldwide, we believe that as God’s Word is preached by pastors who are trained and mentored in the faith, and as the Holy Spirit moves, the lives of individuals are changed, and communities are transformed. We invite you to partner with us by praying for the successful launch of Lystra Global and that it will be used for God’s glory as pastors are trained, connected, and empowered.

Pray for the Organizers and the Trainers Attending the Global Proclamation Congress for Pastoral Trainers

Pastoral trainers from all over the world will gather at the Global Proclamation Congress in Bangkok June 15-22 to encourage one another as they explore new opportunities and discover resources to help them in their mission. It is believed that 85% of pastors worldwide have as little as 1 hour of biblical training! Pastoral trainers represent a vital link to help local pastors receive the resources and training they are hungry for as they answer their call to serve God in ministry.

The Congress has asked us to pray for God’s protection and provision for the event. They are praising God for the 2769 registrants from 108 countries! And they invite us to pray for:
Financial resources for participants and for the convening organization
On the ground organization and logistics – pray for grace, wisdom, strength, and joy as they serve God in the areas of lodging, transportation, and volunteer coordination
Please pray for those who will attend the Congress, and those who will lead – that they may be strengthened and encouraged, and that God may be glorified.

Excitement is building at our office as we prepare for the Launch of Lystra Global at the Global Proclamation Congress in just 3 weeks! We invite you to pray for Dave Worland, President/CEO and Timothy Olonade, Vice President of International Training. These 2 men will be traveling to Thailand to represent Leadership Ministries Worldwide and to introduce Lystra Global, our new online curriculum and resource system.

More than 2,500 pastoral trainers, representing more than 100 countries, will gather at the Congress in Bangkok to encourage one another as they explore new opportunities and discover resources to help them in their mission. It is believed that as many as 85% of pastors worldwide have as little as 1 hour of  biblical training!

Lystra Global is one of the new resources they will learn about at the Congress in Thailand. LMW has partnered with like-minded training organizations to provide excellent curriculum and resources like The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® that will enable these trainers to reach more pastors, more churches, more communities with the life-transforming Word of God.

Please pray for our partners at Chattanooga Software who are developing the software for Lystra Global, and for all of those who are supporting, partnering, and encouraging us as we prepare for its upcoming launch. We also ask you to join us in praying for Dave, Timothy, and all the pastoral trainers who are attending the Congress.

Celebration! Psalms 3 COMING SOON!

By

Psalms 3 (Psalms 107-150) will be published this summer. Its publication marks the completion of The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® after 40+ years of steadfast work by a team of writers and editors. Praise the Lord!

“The Psalms are the great prayer book of the Bible and at the heart of Christian worship, praise, and adoration. The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® offers a richly detailed and comprehensive study guide to this precious part of God’s Word. A valuable resource for Christian workers everywhere.”

Colombia Update

By

In 2015, we learned of pastors in northern Colombia who spent days traveling by canoe, motorcycle, and horseback for the opportunity to learn more about God’s Word and how to minister effectively in their remote communities. These pastors are dedicated to their calling and are hungry for biblical resources and education.

Generous donors, missionaries, and tutors responded to this need and established five learning centers in one year, each equipped with computers, printers, reliable internet service, and Spanish versions of The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible®. At these centers, pastors receive online seminary training, and have access to a wealth of digital resources.

Because of your prayers and support, more than 1,000 Spanish language Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bibles® are available in these learning centers. Pastors are encouraged to take a copy home to assist them with preaching and teaching.

They are enthusiastic about The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® – these resources are helping them understand the depth and richness of the Bible, and how to share the gospel with their congregation, friends, neighbors, and throughout the community.

We know that God’s Word can accomplish much as the Holy Spirit moves in the people across Northern Colombia. Thank you for partnering with us through your continued support and prayers.

“We have really enjoyed The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible®.  It has helped us, reinforced our themes and our sermons, and has been a huge blessing for us and for the whole church.” Alonso Alvarez, Pastor, Chinu, Colombia –  View video from Pastor Alvarez here.
