by Paul Windsor, Associate Director, Langham Preaching

 In its commitment to nurture biblical preaching movements, Langham Preaching often finds itself ‘convening a table’ around which a broad spectrum of the church gathers.

A unique training initiative for 11 Central American countries

In Central America the churches are growing fast. Huge mega-churches are not uncommon, and almost everywhere the number of churches is multiplying. Tiny, persecuted Protestantism is a thing of the past, and the churches now represent a powerful presence in Latin American society.

By Jenny Brown, Langham Preaching Facilitator

August 2009 saw the fifth year of preaching seminars in Kenya and a further 32 delegates completed their level 3 training. However, to speak merely of the numbers of delegates who completed training doesn’t fully reflect the encouragement in Kenya. Increasingly the momentum of the conferences is continuing throughout the year as preachers’ groups are meeting around the country, and more and more local level 1 trainings are beginning.

Langham Preaching in Kenya

by Frank Luvanda, Langham Preaching country coordinator for Tanzania

This was my first visit to the Langham Preaching movement in Kenya, and it was a wonderful experience for me.  I have got many positive things to learn from Kenyan Preaching programme. I really confirm that this cross-pollination thing is very important in strengthening our preaching networks in East Africa!

Langham Preaching in Colombia

by Igor Amestegui and Cari Crossley, Langham Preaching

Noted for its cocaine trade, conservative politics and mega-churches, Colombia is a vibrant republic in the north west of South America. Although it is a predominantly Roman Catholic country, the Evangelical Protestant Church now represents a sizeable percentage of the population, being some nine to ten percent. As the present Government seems to have a very close connection with the International Charismatic church in Colombia, the influence of the Protestant minority is steadily growing.

 Among African Christians, too many of us are.

 by Langham Scholar Sunday Agang

 for Christianity Today magazine

 

A seminary student told me a story that had been circulating in his church: A member of his congregation sold his wife’s life, so she died in an automobile accident. The church member remarried, but kept a room in his house where he allowed nobody, including his new wife. One day, he forgot to lock the door. His new wife snuck in and discovered the first wife’s corpse spitting new Nigerian money on the floor.
