M4M: Supporting Langham Partnership


Langham Partnership seeks to raise the level of Biblical preaching throughout the world. It does this by holding preaching schools in strategic locations, by making available quality Biblical literature to aid national pastors in the Majority World, and by providing scholarships for people to gain higher degrees so that Biblical expositional preaching will help the church worldwide to grow in effectiveness.

One major project has been the production of the Africa Bible Commentary, the first ever one-volume commentary written by Africans, for Africans. It has taken seven years to produce with more than $1million raise to make the project a reality. Now plans are afoot to translate this into other languages. The Kiswahili translation project is already under way, and others will follow. This will all make a huge contribution to the maturing of the African Church.

Koorong is teaming up with Langham Partnership Australia to help in the distribution costs of this commentary. During the month of May, customers are being encouraged to add as little as one dollar to any purchase, and Koorong will match it dollar for dollar to a total of $40,000. Just $30 will provide one ABC to needy pastors in Africa. John Stott has commended this project to the Christian public and it certainly deserves our support.
