MultiplyingTRANSFORMATION

2019 ANNUAL REPORT — PAGE 3

Dear friend of Langham,

“If you want to really transform the whole culture, you need to

break into the roots.”

These words from Augustin, the director of a Langham-supported

publisher in Benin, strike at the heart of why Langham cultivates

locally led grassroots movements for the Gospel. As pastors

and theological leaders are equipped and resourced, they

can bring God’s transforming truth into the root issues facing

their communities.

It is with great joy that, in the following pages, I share with you

stories of transformation made possible by God’s grace and your

steadfast support of Langham. In 2019, your faithful prayers and

generosity helped train over 10,000 pastors, equip 78 theological

leaders, and distribute over 100,000 books to pastors, Bible colleges,

and seminaries.

As you read these stories, I pray that you are blessed and

encouraged in knowing your support has a multiplying impact on

the global church. Every pastor and leader equipped with deep

knowledge of God’s Word multiplies your investment in them many

times over through the transformations of their communities.

My gratitude for your faithful partnership overflows!

Celebrating transformation in Christ,

Benjamin K. Homan

President, Langham Partnership USA

HEARTS TRANSFORMED IN BENIN, WHERE A LANGHAM-SUPPORTED PUBLISHER SAYS

THAT BOOKS ARE IMPACTING LIVES.



Multiplying TransformationTHROUGH LANGHAM SCHOLARS

Transformation in Christ comes to the most vulnerable on the tough streets of Brazil’s Ana Rosa neighborhood—where Marcio (at right) spent his youth in a gang. Today, it’s where he shares Jesus with the most vulnerable. His studies at South American Theological Seminary, founded by Langham Scholar Antonio Barro, equipped him to plant a church and launch a ministry that reaches 300+ at-risk kids with hope in Christ. Marcio is just one of 3,000+ students who’ve graduated from the seminary and now bring transformation into communities around the world.


Together, with your help, we fund scholarships and shepherd emerging theological leaders through PhD programs, preparing them for a lifetime of multiplicative ministry as they go on to train others and shape nations.

Supported 73 current

PhD students from

41 nations. These

emerging leaders

receive the theological

education and scholar

care support needed to

equip them for a lifetime

of service as leaders.

LANGHAM SCHOLARS 2019 IMPACT AT A GLANCE

Celebrated the

graduation of 8 PhD

students, who are

now helping to equip

the church in their

nations, including Judy

Wang’ombe, pictured,

who has a vision to

reach Kenya’s unreached

Borana tribe.

3OO+ Langham

Scholars are now

serving around the

world, starting vital

new ministries, writing

critically needed books,

multiplying trained

pastors and Christian

leaders and growing the

church in their nations.

MULTIPLYING TRANSFORMATIONEach Langham Scholar will train roughly 7,733 more leaders—pastors, church planters, ministry

leaders—who will then go on to reach hundreds of thousands more in Christ.†

Multiplying TransformationTHROUGH BIBLICAL LITERATURE


For Thailand’s Christians, who represent just 1% of the population, accepting Christ often means rejection from their primarily Buddhist communities. Through you, Langham supported publisher Kanok Bannasan is developing books and e-books that help believers follow Jesus within Thai culture. Publishing manager Tasanee (pictured) shares, “Your support impacts the life of the people. . . Pastors are eager for books. The books help the church to stand firm in our faith.”


Together, with your help, we support indigenous theological writing and publishing so that pastors and leaders have access to books in their own language and context as they serve the unique needs of their communities.

Supplied 17,697

books and biblical

resources to 773

seminary libraries across

84 countries, helping

emerging leaders

study and understand

God’s Word.

LANGHAM LITERATURE 2019 IMPACT AT A GLANCE

Distributed 35,817

books to ministry

partners, students and

pastors like Thuya in

Myanmar (pictured),

who says, “Books

help me share God with

my people.”

Supported 22

indigenous publishers,

like Augustin (pictured)

who leads African Bible

Press in Benin and

says, “We are impacting

many lives through the

books we publish.”

MULTIPLYING TRANSFORMATIONJust one book in a seminary library will be

used by 160+ students preparing to serve the church in their nations.†


Multiplying TransformationTHROUGH BIBLICAL PREACHING

Darius (pictured) is part of a Langham Preaching Club in Romania full of teens and young adults who meet regularly to study and practice teaching Scripture. What has caused God’s Word to capture and transform these young hearts in a country where the church has struggled to speak to younger generations? You! Your help equipped their pastor, Daniel, who now mentors these formerly uninvolved young believers. Now the group has exploded in size as more than 300 teens and young adults like Darius experience new life in Christ —and share it with others.


Together, with your help, we train indigenous pastors and lay leaders to faithfully study and teach God’s Word—shepherding their congregations with hope in Christ.

338 preaching

training seminars held

in 70 countries,

where local pastors and

leaders learn to study and

teach God’s Word. Langham-

trained pastor Lloyd in Kenya

says his preaching

has transformed, and so

has his life. “By living the

Word of God, my life has

been transformed.”

LANGHAM PREACHING 2019 IMPACT AT A GLANCE

10,896+ pastors

and lay leaders equipped

to bring hope in Christ

to their communities.

Langham-trained Pastor

*Ashan (pictured above)

trains other pastors in his

church, which ministers

He says, “We believe that

the Word of God can

transform lives.”

1,190+ Preaching

Clubs of 7 to 10

local leaders meeting

regularly for ongoing

training. Njoo, a

Langham-trained

preaching club. He

shares, “When I teach

them, they say, ‘the

Bible is so rich!’”

MULTIPLYING TRANSFORMATION1 Langham-trained pastor multiplies that training to

64 other leaders, including youth pastors, elders, and other church leaders.†

Fiscal Year 2019 FinancialsJULY 1, 2018 – JUNE 30, 2019

Langham Partnership is comprised of

six national partners (Australia, Canada,

Hong Kong, New Zealand, United

Kingdom & Ireland, and the USA), each

separately incorporated in its own

nation, with its own Board of Directors.

Though each partner maintains

separate financials, which are audited

annually, there is full global transparency

among all six partners. A global cloud

accounting system implementation

enables oversight, analysis and

consolidation of the financials of the

six members. This page offers the

better and fuller consolidated global

financial picture. Part of the fuller picture

includes Langham USA helping with the

fundraising and public communication

aspects of the other members. Thus,

the numbers shown for Langham USA

reflect the costs of helping our national

partners, but not the income generated

through that help. Not included in these

financials are significant additional

contributions from grassroots Langham

organizations that uphold our vision and

mission throughout the world.

The income and expense reported in

this annual report are based on cash

accounting whereas accrual accounting

methods are used to report income

in our audited statement and tax return;

hence some differences may exist

in comparison.
