God’s Light Shines in the Darkness

By

“Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners.” Hebrews 13:3

LMW recently received a letter from an inmate in a Texas prison: 

    “I am currently a mentor, teacher, and facilitator in the faith-based program where I also am a resident. It is a true blessing to be able to live here in this part of the Unit and to be a part of the discipling of men in here and throughout the whole Unit.
    The Lord is so present here and the entire culture on our farm has begun to shift as the Holy Spirit has been busy molding and shaping and teaching us how to walk and talk in ways that both honor and serve God…. God has shown me so much grace, love, patience, forgiveness and mercy! Through His forgiveness and tenderness and continual pursuit of me, today I am beginning to walk in a right relationship as His son and servant.”

What a blessing! This prisoner is serving God, teaching His Word, and discipling those who receive the gospel message. We came to know him when he requested Outline Bible Resources to use as he teaches others in prison.

LMW often receives requests from prisoners seeking a better understanding of the Bible; men and women who want to grow in their faith and deepen their relationship with the Savior. As funds are available, we ship the books they request to their address in prison. 

Can you help us equip this man, and the other inmates who seek to shine Christ’s light in the darkness of prison? Your support enables us to share God’s Word with the lost here in the USA and around the world. Please join us by Giving Now!

“The Lord hears the needy and does not despise his captive people.” 
Psalm 69:33

LMW App Preparing to Launch!

By

Dear Friends,

Merry Christmas! We have been working all year to get this gift ready for you: the LMW app, just in time for Christmas! Have a look at the video overview, then sign up to be notified as soon as it is released – in the next few days.

Scripture, outline, and commentary are fully integrated in one easy-to-use app, making it simple to study the Bible, prepare sermons, and create lessons on the go. All 44 volumes of the comprehensive Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible® are included, giving you everything you need to preach and teach confidently.

We are also excited to announce that our most popular handbooks, “What the Bible Says to the Minister,” “What the Bible Says to the Believer,” and “What the Bible Says to the Business Leader” are now available in the Amazon Kindle Store, and as an e-book from your favorite e-publisher, including Kobo, iBooks and others.

I pray that these resources and the LMW app will bless you as you bless others. May God grant you a merry Christmas and much joy in the New Year.
Blessings,

Dave Worland

Giving Brings Thanks

By

In this season of giving, it is a powerful thing to see your gifts result in an overflowing of thanksgiving:

  • Thank you my friends for the books that you offer to us. With these kinds of books I am gaining more knowledge. Thank you again for the great thing you’re doing.” Malawi
  • “LMW materials are blessing the people at a large scale. Pastors like the books so much that they demand more and more books in their congregations for their spiritual growth.” Pakistan
  • “The best resource for sermon preparation and personal study. Thank you so much for making it available.” USA

Lives are Changed as Christ is Proclaimed in Zambia

By

Daniel Sitali serves as an intern pastoring a church plant in the small town of Monze, Zambia. Each week he prays as he begins his sermon and teaching preparation - and God leads him to The Preacher's Outline & Sermon Bible®, a necessary tool to help him understand the Bible and communicate its truths.

With God's help, Daniel has grown the small church from 10 to 43 members. He shared this message with us: "Thank you so much for your heart for us. . . Your giving comes out of the passion of your heart for God and to see that the gospel reaches out to everyone. We are really grateful for your help."

Will you partner with us to provide biblical resources to pastors like Daniel around the world? "Others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else."  2 Cor. 9:13

Thank you for your generosity.
