Langham Launches ‘Books for Bible Colleges’ Campaign

‘Good preaching is impossible without study, and study is impossible without books’

John Stott (Langham’s founder)

Langham Partnership believes that every church in every nation deserves a biblically well-trained leader…but not all Bible colleges have access to enough books!

The Problem

  • The majority of Bible colleges Langham works with lack funding to acquire books
  • The majority of the books are written by Western authors for a Western audience
  • Langham is one of a few ministries addressing the problem
  • Langham is the only ministry allowing colleges to choose the books they need for their library

The Solution

  • Supplying a catalogue of over 7,000 titles that colleges can choose from
  • Giving over 700 bible colleges a grant to choose books they need from the catalogue
  • Supporting local authors and publishers to write and address local issues
  • Filling libraries with contextually relevant, Christ-centred, biblically informed evangelical literature

How You Can Help

  • Pray for our fellow brothers and sisters around the globe who crave what we take for granted – books
  • £22 a month, plus Gift Aid (£330) would give a bible college a grant to choose the books they need
  • Your support would make sure the books and the cost of shipping them are getting to people desperate to study so their preaching is biblical and Christ-centred
  • Visit our interactive website BooksForBibleColleges.org to learn more and donate

Langham’s Commitment

  • You will receive a monthly invitation to Langham Live to hear and pray together on Zoom with someone in the global Langham Family
  • The opportunity to hear from the global Langham family through our biannual supporter magazine Transform and our monthly prayer and news emails
