“What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2
Richard Pratt helped launch Third Millennium Ministries 20 years ago when he saw the need to train pastors in areas where Christianity is growing the fastest. Believing that every Christian deserves a well-trained pastor, 3rd Millennium offers “Biblical Education, For the World, For Free.” We are thankful for faithful men like Richard who seek to pass on the faith to others. Please pray for Richard Pratt, Third Millennium Ministries, and LMW as we partner to offer training and resources.

Pray for the Gospel to Advance in Africa
“What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2.
Philip Hunt, President of Central Africa Baptist College & Seminary and Africa Director for IBMGlobal has a burden to see the gospel advance to every village, town and city in Africa. Philip will be visiting LMW next week to share more about his mission and ministry in Zambia. Pray for safety as he travels and that God will be glorified through his ministry and our partnership in training and equipping pastors for gospel-centered ministry.
Pray for the People of Sierra Leone
Massive flooding and continued rains have devastated areas around Freetown, Sierra Leone. With more than 400 dead, 600 still missing, and thousands displaced, the rain continues to fall, and there is potential for more flooding and major mudslides. More than 1/3 of the dead are children, and many entire families were wiped out.
Please pray for the people of this country as they dig out from this disaster. The horror and hardships continue to increase as the rain continues to fall. Pray that they will feel God’s love, peace and presence, even in the midst of devastation.
Thanking God for Faithful Ministry Partners
“I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel.” Phil 1:4-5
The Grace Institute and WeDevote Chinese Bible App share LMW’s mission to equip leaders for gospel-centered ministry worldwide
Leaders from The Grace Institute and WeDevote will be sharing their vision next week at LMW’s 25th Anniversary celebration. We are grateful for their partnership in the gospel. The Grace Institute is working throughout Latin America training and equipping pastors to share God’s grace through Jesus Christ. They partnered with LMW to develop and implement Teleios, a Spanish language digital platform that delivers biblical education and training to pastors in under-resourced areas.
WeDevote is China’s most popular Bible app, offering God’s Word to Chinese people who are encountering Christ for the very first time. The free app offers Chinese language Bible translations, and includes the Chinese version of The Preacher’s Outline & Sermon Bible®.
The gospel of Jesus Christ has the dynamic power to change our hearts, our lives and the world around us. When the gospel message is shared, the Holy Spirit moves, hearts are transformed, new believers are baptized, churches are planted, and communities benefit through faith in Christ.
We have been blessed to see the gospel at work around the world as pastors are equipped to share God’s Word. All praise to God who encourages, empowers, and upholds us.
Pray for Wisdom as LMW Enters its Next 25 Years
“What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Timothy 2:2
LMW is celebrating 25 years of equipping leaders for gospel-centered ministry worldwide. We are grateful for the vision of the founders and for the inspired leadership of the Board of Directors.
As our Board meets this week, may it be a time of celebration and encouragement as we remember the past and look forward to the next 25 years. Much has changed since our inception, and we anticipate that we will continue to embrace more change in the future. May God grant us wisdom and insight as we seek to do His will.
Pray for the Internally Displaced Persons in Nigeria
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'” Matthew 25:40
Hannah Olonade has a heart for women’s ministry, and for those who are refugees (internally displaced) within her own country of Nigeria. Once a month, she invites women to come and learn skills that they can use to help with self care – and/or to sell to others to earn a little money to help them survive.
The bottles the women are holding up contain a cleaning solution that Hannah and her Women of God ministry taught them to make. Hannah is serving God by serving the women in her home country. Please pray for Hannah, for the women who are touched by her ministry, and for the country of Nigeria which is suffering from upheaval, religious strife and persecution.
