\u201cPraise God for the ability to use this new form of training, and pray that those who have attended will be equipped in their ministry of the Word!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same South Asian region, where Christians are under pressure, Pastor Darma* is pointing people toward Christ, their purpose and hope. He says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pastor Darma* received Langham Preaching training, and as a result, lives are changing in his congregation.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy congregation is longing for the Word of God to strengthen them, to encourage them, and to give them something to hold on to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With support from Langham, Darma received training on how to study and teach God\u2019s Word, and today he brings the hope of Christ to his people. His congregation is growing in number and maturity. Lives are changing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darma says: \u201cMy congregation says they now know that the purpose of their lives is to serve God. They have a new vision.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This much we know: in these uncertain times, God’s Word is certain. And, it is urgently needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for your gifts<\/a> and prayers\u2014they are lifting up leaders in hard places around the world and helping them to reflect the love of Christ to those in need.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
