Equipping Pastors Worldwide is the new name for a charity born this year from the merger of the Pastor Training International (PTI) and Christian Books Worldwide (CBW) charities - both of whom had been supporting majority world pastors who long to be faithful in serving the Lord Jesus Christ, but who are lacking the training and resources to do so. Over the last 15 years, the two charities have been privileged to serve thousands of pastors in regions where the church has grown hugely but where there is great material need.

Equipping Pastors Worldwide is seeking to raise additional funds to support expansion of this work, focussed on three major activities:

Providing quality training for pastors in expository preaching. Since its formation in 2004, PTI has delivered over 100 conferences in 12 countries and trained more than 3,000 pastors.

Distributing free books to under-resourced pastors throughout the majority world. Since the foundation of CBW in 2009, more than 800,000 books have been distributed to pastors in 65 countries.

Translating and distributing sound biblical books for use with non-English speakers in the majority world. To date, we have translated books into 41 languages, and distributed more than 120 translated titles in hard-copy or through our e-books App.

Recently, we have sought to concentrate on establishing hubs in selected locations, working with trusted partners to train local trainers for the future and to more effectively manage our book distribution work, ensuring that our work is culturally relevant and focused on local needs.

Equipping Pastors Worldwide is a UK registered charity, and 100% of our funding comes from our supporters, whether individuals, churches or charitable trusts. We have set an ambitious target of raising £15,000 from this charity run/walk, and any amount you are able to donate to help us reach this target will be hugely appreciated.
