There are always those in the background who are critical to the success of any mission. Please pray for our administrative staff as they adjust to a new accounting, inventory, and customer relations system. Faithful volunteers help package and ship our resources to pastors all over the world. We are thankful for these diligent workers, and pray that God will give them joy as they serve Him.

Timothy Olonade, Vice President of International Training, will travel to Entebbe, Uganda and Kigali, Rwanda February 7-13. Timothy will lead pastoral training workshops designed to help ministers understand their calling, and how to effectively preach and minister in God’s name. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will move as Timothy teaches, and that the hearts of the pastors will be moved as they step out to faithfully serve the Lord.

Our partners in ministry, the Theological Book Network, will deliver 4,382 Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bibles® to equip pastors in Malawi, South Sudan, Liberia and throughout Zambia. The books shipped this week and are expected to have a major impact as they are distributed through seminaries and training workshops in Africa. Pray for those pastors who will receive these resources in 2016.

Lystra Global – Connecting Bible Trainers Worldwide
Please pray for Bryan and the team at Chattanooga Software Center, who are working to complete development of Lystra Global – our online training platform for pastoral trainers. The goal of this unique technology is to connect pastors and trainers to each other and to excellent resources; to connect trainers in networking forums; and to offer a platform for crowd-sourced translating of biblical materials.

Where would we be without gospel partners? We are thankful that God continues to direct Leadership Ministries Worldwide to global Christian partners who are passionate about helping local pastors share God’s Word faithfully, growing His kingdom. Some of the ministries we partner with include:

• Theological Book Network
• The Grace Institute
• OM Ships
• Frontline Fellowship
• China Partnership
• WeDevote
• Third Millennium
• World Hope International
• Covington Seminary

In a country where only 1.5% of the population is Christian, and persecution is a constant reality, groups of believers continue to meet, share the gospel, engage children, and celebrate God’s grace and love. Pray for our partners in Pakistan who continue to preach and teach the gospel message, that their words may bear fruit, and more and more people will come to know the saving grace of Jesus.
