God-centered resources from the ministry of John Piper

In recent months, Desiring God’s International Outreach department has partnered with All Nations Ministries. Mike Parker, president and founder of All Nations Ministries, is an international evangelist who has been asked by the Luis Palau Evangelistic Association’s Next Generation Alliance to develop a multi-year, multi-city holistic evangelism strategy for Liberia.

This February, Mike will travel to the town of Kakata to prepare the local churches for evangelism and other efforts that will take place in late 2009.  The trip will include a pastors conference, medical relief and food for orphans, and several evenings with the local church for prayer, exhortation, and worship.

In addition, Mike will meet with representatives from other key organizations to see about their willingness to partner in this effort which they’re calling Rejoice Liberia. Ministries that are currently considering this or are already partners include All Nations Ministries, Desiring God, OrphanAge, Next Generation Alliance, and Samaritan’s Purse.

To help prepare for this effort, we’ve donated 1,000 books by John Piper, which are currently on their way to Africa via container shipment. These resources will be distributed to the pastors that are involved in the Rejoice Liberia project.

We are grateful to God for this opportunity to help serve and strengthen the church in a country with such great physical and spiritual needs.
