Read about the the developments that this past fall of 2006 has seen in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cote d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso.

During the first week of October in 2005 nearly 100 participants came to Central Baptist Church in Harare for a three day seminar, and we were delighted to welcome pastors, lay preachers and students from across the city and beyond. It was specially encouraging to see a good mix of denominations and churches represented, as well as large numbers from several theological seminaries.

For 5 days in early September, some 80 delegates attended the preaching seminar at St Paul’s, Limuru in Kenya. Esther Mombo and the faculty members at St Paul’s gave a great deal of energy to arranging the seminar, having previously hosted a similar Langham preaching event two years ago. It was encouraging to see a further level 1 program attract pastors and lay preachers keen to develop in the area of Biblical preaching.

A couple of months ago, our Langham Preaching team presented seminars in both Poland and Ukraine. As we have found in most parts of the world, reports on preaching in the churches from the Polish and Ukrainian nationals were very disheartening. Almost everyone agreed with the suggestion from one leader from Kazakhstan that “our pastors prepare their sermons, and then look for a Bible text to illustrate it.”
