Dear Friend,
As Pathway Learning prepares for 2022, we’re reaffirming 5 core commitments that can make a lasting difference in lives and communities around the world next year and beyond. May I ask you a favor? Will you please prayerfully read these 5 brief reasons as you think about your year-end giving? Thanks so much for considering this!
FIRST REASON: WHAT WE DO
We equip underserved church leaders to plant and develop healthy churches that transform lives and communities around the world. We do this by providing church leaders access to affordable, practical, seminary-level training and tools in their language and adapted to their culture wherever they live and serve.
SECOND REASON: WHOM WE SERVE
We serve church leaders who do not have access to the education they need to plant and develop healthy churches with effective ministries of evangelism, discipleship, and mercy. There are millions of gifted and called church leaders, especially in the developing world, who can’t afford to leave their families and churches to learn in a new language and culture.
THIRD REASON: HOW WE SERVE
We provide underserved church leaders access to an innovative blend of online and onsite learning in interactive cohort groups moderated by trained facilitators. Our courses use the latest educational technology and focus not only on developing the leader’s knowledge, but also on the character and practical skills they need to be effective in ministry.
FORTH REASON: WHERE WE SERVE
Pathway Learning has equipped a growing global community of church leaders from more than 300 denominations representing 60 countries in 7 languages. Our five major global projects include serving the persecuted in China, the rural poor in Muslim West Africa, the unreached in Japan, the secular in Eastern Europe, and the urban poor in North America.
FIFTH REASON: WHY WE SERVE
There is no greater honor and privilege than making a lasting difference in the world by obeying Jesus’ command to make disciples of all nations. And the most effective way to make disciples of all nations is by equipping church leaders to plant and develop healthy churches that transform lives and communities around the world.
But here’s what I must tell you: There’s no way Pathway Learning can keep these commitments without you – without your prayers and your financial support. So, I’m asking you to please help Pathway Learning with a year-end gift now so we can end this year strong and keep these commitments in 2022 and the future. Thanks so much!
Sincerely in Christ,
Steve

Celebrate Advent With Pathway Learning and a Free Book!
Dear Friend,
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration! It’s hard to believe that the Advent season begins tomorrow, Sunday, November 28 and ends on Christmas Eve.
The word Advent (from the Latin adventus, “coming”) in the Christian church calendar refers to a period of worship and celebration of God’s gift to us in the coming of his one and only Son, Jesus Christ.
At Pathway Learning, we are also entering a financially important time of year – the months of December and January. Also Giving Tuesday is next Tuesday, November 30, this year.
So, what better way for Pathway Learning to enter this season of worship and giving than to give away a FREE digital (PDF) study book (normally $9.99) by John Frame and me called “Cultivating Biblical Worship.”
In this book you’ll be equipped from Scripture with the principles and practices needed to help you develop biblical, God-honoring private and public worship. You’ll learn what the Bible teaches about:
- Broad and Narrow Worship (Chapter 1)
- Vertical and Horizontal Worship (Chapter 2)
- Biblical Perspective of Worship (Chapter 3)
- Cultural Perspective of Worship (Chapter 4)
- Existential Perspective of Worship (Chapter 5)
- Corporate Worship Services (Chapter 6)
Pathway Learning Books are designed for both personal and small group study and give access to all the same learning paths previously available only in the Pathway Learning Courses – including lesson goals, key ideas, measurable milestones, video scripts, discussion questions, prayer guides, quizzes, and more.
We hope you’ll enjoy this book, and we hope it will give you an “inside look” into how we train and equip underserved church leaders around the world in critically needed areas like Church Planting, Church Renewal, and Applied Theology.

Thank you for partnering with us in whatever way that you do – giving, praying, and encouraging us as we equip underserved church leaders to plant and develop churches around the world. We are very grateful for you.
For the King!
