Imagine that you are an indigenous pastor of a local church in South America trying to shepherd a small congregation, with little to no access to formal education. Your understanding of the basic truths of the Bible is greatly lacking. You own only a couple books and those are of questionable value. Internet access is not reliable. And yet you are responsible for feeding and leading your local church. You and your congregation are struggling to experience the life-changing power of the Gospel.
Since 2006, International Outreach has been engaged in a mission of Theological Famine Relief for the Global Church. It joined TGC in 2012. We are partnering with translators, publishers, and missions networks to provide new access to biblical resources in digital and physical formats. Our goal is to strengthen thousands of congregations by helping to equip the pastors and elders called to shepherd them.
Our goal is to see pastors in the Global South receive access to good theological content through our resources which are distributed in the context of our partners working in the field, whether expatriate or indigenous, providing training and mentoring. We hope church leaders will be personally impacted by the power of the gospel and, in turn, shepherd their congregations well—resulting in widespread gospel renewal, all for the praise of His glorious grace.
Since 2006, TGC International Outreach has distributed almost 600,000 resources to help equip pastors and church leaders in more than 130 countries across Africa, Asia, South America, and Europe.

Our Relief Projects are executed by our global team of translators, publishers, mission networks, and volunteers to provide indigenous pa
stors in more than 130 countries with free gospel-centered books translated into their own languages—and our cost of delivery is on average less than $3 per resource. Many of our Relief Projects are the result of individuals or churches with a burden for a particular language or region of the world. It’s a great way to enhance your missions strategy. Email us to find out whether we have existing or potential relief projects that would align with your foreign missions strategies.

As a corporate commercial lawyer, I have had the great privilege of drafting terms and conditions that nobody reads (at most you may be forced to scroll down all the way to the bottom to see our fine drafting before clicking accept). Now I’m not advocating that you read every single set of terms and conditions you’re presented with and asked to click accept. By some estimates, it would take you seventy-six eight-hour days to read them all. But I am arguing that you, church member, should be in a local church with “terms and conditions,” meaning documents like statements…
In an old British comedy sketch, a German soldier turns to another and asks, “Are we the baddies?”[1] While humorous, the underlying situation is weighty and near. Might we, without knowing it, be on the side of evil rather than good? We need to ask ourselves, “Are we the idols?” I do not mean asking if we are like the singers on American Idol or the trophies on Survivor. Since there is overlap between being an idol and image, let’s start there. Can we function like idols in how we image God? And can we go even further, transforming into…
Central Baptist Seminary (CBS) in Toronto, where I began my academic career as a church historian, experienced a deep financial crisis between 1989 and 1991. A three-man management team was put in place to lead the school instead of a president. One of the three men serving on this management team was Roy Lawson, in every way a larger-than-life figure in the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada. And to be honest, he frightened me! But not my academic colleague, Stanley K. Fowler. In fact, once when Roy was complaining about hyper-Calvinists within our Fellowship (Calvinism was a controversial…
