This year's Desiring God National Conference could not be what we're praying and planning for without the generous help of our partner ministries. We are happy to highlight 7 of them for you here.

To Every Tribe Ministries

To Every Tribe exists to spread a passion for the supremacy of God among unreached peoples throughout the earth. To Every Tribe intends to purposefully glorify God by planting national led, self-sustaining, self-reproducing, evangelical Christian churches in the interior regions of Papua New Guinea and Mexico initially, and then to other unreached peoples around the world as the Lord directs.

Our vision is to bring the gospel to those hard-to-get-to places where the name of Jesus has never been heard so God will be worshiped by every tribe, language, and nation. In addition to cross-cultural church planting, it is our desire to extend this ministry into the next generation by training new pioneers for the gospel. The Center for Pioneer Church Planting prepares and equips missionary martyrs for the challenges of church planting among people groups who have never heard the gospel. The Center for Pioneer Church Planting (CPCP) is a missionary training program that combines intensive in-class preparation and study in South Texas with 'hands-on' training in church planting locations in Papua New Guinea and Mexico.

We believe the most effective way to learn how to plant churches is by doing it with experienced church planters. We do not minimize the importance of classroom learning, but we do believe on-field mentoring coupled with the classroom is what makes our training unique.

Logos Bible Software

Logos 4 is robust enough for a pastor’s professional life, but easy and intuitive enough for his personal life as well. Logos 4 removes time-consuming hindrances so you can get right to the task of serious Bible study. It delivers faster and smarter searching, insights from your favorite author, and Greek and Hebrew tools that are designed for those who might not have had any training in the languages.

With things like passage analysis delivering an HD look at the grand narrative, Biblical People, Places, and Things delivering graphics that can easily be dropped into a presentation slide, and even an opening homepage that reads like an online newspaper delivering content from books that a pastor might not know he even had in his collection. So, Logos 4 delivers a powerful solution to pastors that is flexible and fits around the way they study the Bible.

Another thing Logos delivers is hands-on, personal presentations. With a large and talented national presentation team, Logos can come to your church and help you equip pastors, leaders, and laity. Check out a little about what Logos can do for you at logos.com/ministrydevelopment.

95.3 Praise FM

95.3 Praise FM is a radio ministry in Minneapolis, MN dedicated to changing the way that people, churches and cities worship. Originating in Osakis, MN in 1985, Praise FM has grown from one station to four, with 95.3 Praise FM going on the air in November 2008.

In addition to our ministries in Minnesota and the Dakota’s, Praise FM has a specific heart for the nations and partners with ministries in Sweden, Africa, and the Cayman Islands. The 95.3 Praise FM signal is also streaming live online for people to listen from anywhere in the world. Within the past few months, people tuned in from 96 different nations and 42 language groups. They have seen that worship crosses generations, denominations and even language barriers.

The heart of 95.3 Praise FM is for listeners to experience the presence of God through the music and the hearing of God’s word. Our prayer is that this encounter would result in 3 things:

• A desire for God in personal daily worship
• A heart to honor God by living under authority and in community within the Church
• Obedience to God as a ministry to our families, workplace and community
