In Malawi, we are working carefully and mindfully in Muslim communities, sharing the love of Christ while respecting the local culture. While we must be cautious, we know God has a bigger plan and is faithfully guiding us every step of the way. His provision and faithfulness have been evident. We trust that He will continue to lead us in bringing hope and truth.  #ELIMalawi #GodsFaithfulness #GuidedByFaith #GospelInAction 

🌍 Did you know? 95% of global pastors have no formal training, which can lead to distortions of Biblical truth. But through pastoral training, we’re seeing lives and churches transformed around the world! 🙌  At The Lydia Network, we’re proud to partner with Equipping Leaders International to help bring God’s truth to communities everywhere.  #PastoralTraining #GlobalImpact #EquippingLeaders #TheLydiaNetwork #TransformingChurches 

Rwandan churches have been shut down by the government for over 5 months, but there’s hope! 🙌 Inspections have begun, and some churches are reopening their doors. While the process is slow, we trust in God’s perfect timing and celebrate this progress. Swipe to see how we’re equipping pastors to lead their churches with deeper understanding of Scripture and how your support is making a lasting impact. 💛 #HopeInGod #ChurchReopenings #BibleTraining #KingdomWork #RwandaChurches

With over 40,000 unreached villages in this region, we continue to answer the call to spread God’s Word.

Praise God! 🙌 We are also training 50 Timothys to continue multiplying leaders for the Kingdom.

✨ 2024: God’s Continued Work in Tanzania - Part 2 ✨ Through the power of technology, Equipping Leaders International is teaching 550+ pastors each month via Zoom across 4 different locations in Tanzania! 🙌 Pastor Moses, one of our faithful “Timothys,” is personally training 70 pastors monthly and hosting in-person conferences to equip even more leaders for ministry. As we look ahead, we have two big prayer and funding needs: 🙏 Pray for 200 Swahili study Bibles to be funded ($6,000 total). 🙏 Pray for the funds to host 40 additional training events in 2025, which will impact 2,000+ pastors ($14,400). Together, we are reaching and equipping leaders who will transform the church in Tanzania and beyond! 🌍✨ #GodAtWork #EquippingLeaders #TheLydiaNetwork #FaithInAction #PastorTraining

✨ 2024: God Moving in Tanzania In early November, leaders in Tanzania and Zanzibar gathered for a course on Worship and Sacraments. Together, they explored what Scripture teaches about worshiping God in holiness, designing biblically grounded worship services, and understanding the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Despite their diverse denominations and worship styles, these leaders were united in their openness to learn and grow. 🙌 This is a beautiful reminder that the Holy Spirit is at work, guiding His people through faithful teaching. Thank you for supporting the Lydia Network and Equipping Leaders International as we help leaders grow in their faith and strengthen the global church! #GodAtWork #EquippingLeaders #TheLydiaNetwork #FaithInAction

Merry Christmas, Christ the Savior is born!
