Here’s a new resource channel for missionaries and internationals looking to spread gospel-saturated truths in their personal networks.

Gospel Translations, one of our partners in translation ministry, just started “Biblical Resource of the Week” RSS/email campaigns in six languages, and they are hoping to start more soon. These posts will often feature resources from Desiring God, as well as other teachers we appreciate like R. C. Sproul, Mark Dever, and C. J. Mahaney.

If you know of people who could benefit, please help us spread the word through your blogs, social media channels, and personal networks. And of course, if you’re able, you can also consider lending your translati…

These “pearls” are the 100-plus Portuguese translations of resources by John Piper and others that are now availableforfree at Gospel Translations. And more are on the way.

Will you help spread the word by pointing your friends to these sites? 

And if you’d like to help with translation projects, you can sign up at GT or contact us at International Outreach.

Persian World Outreach has recently completed a translation of Let the Nations Be Glad in Farsi, which you can order by emailing them.

Persian World Outreach’s next Piper translation project is Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die, which should be available in the next year. They also offer many other English to Farsi translations (PDF).

Read the responses to Let the Nations Be Glad by several students at Westminster Theological College in Uganda. Dr. Dave Eby chose this as the textbook for the course he taught last semester, “Introduction to Missions.” He described its impact by quoting from some of the response papers he received.

Africa is now a center for sending missionaries to other parts of the world, including the western world. But we lack teachers and missionary training. By the use of this book, it will bring more change to my life and my (contacts).

How much personal risk would you be willing to take to help equip pastors to spread a passion for God? Would you smuggle Gospel resources into a severely Muslim country? Would you ignore the possible retribution in order to get them God-centered books?

Consider B.P.’s example. He recently returned (safely) from a missions trip to the republic of Afghanistan.

In my luggage I smuggled every one of Piper’s books that I owned (about 15). The reason I took them was because my church has planted two pastors and their wives there (in two cities). These kinds of resources are not only very hard, if not impossible, to get a hold of…but also very illegal. If these books were to be foun…
