“Scripture is the supreme standard not only for personal sanctification but also for faithfully carrying out all forms of gospel ministry.” — Dr. Abner Chou The authority and sufficiency of God’s Word must govern every aspect of Christian life and ministry. This conviction is foundational to TMAI’s mission of training pastors and church leaders to preach the Word, shepherd their churches, and make disciples. This weekend, November 6–7, The Master’s University will host the Sufficiency of Scripture Summit at Grace Community Church. Through biblical teaching, practical breakout sessions, and the signing of a newly drafted statement on Scripture’s sufficiency, ministry leaders and believers will gather to affirm this essential doctrine.

We are excited to announce the release of La Mission Biblique, Volume 1: Principes, now available in French. With millions of French speakers across Africa and around the world, there is a tremendous need for sound biblical resources to help train pastors, missionaries, and church leaders. We are thankful for our ministry partners in Quebec who made this translation possible. As we anticipate the release of Volumes 2 and 3, please pray that the Lord would use Biblical Missions to equip those serving His church and that these resources would reach those who need this training. Learn more about the Biblical Missions textbook and workbook at cbm.tmai.org.

God has established clear instructions in Scripture for how His church is to be led and cared for. Pastors are entrusted with the responsibility of faithfully teaching God’s Word, shepherding His people, and equipping believers for the work of ministry. Those entrusted with ministry must look to Scripture for their responsibilities and priorities, allowing God’s Word to direct how they serve Christ and His church.

The sufficiency of Scripture is foundational to faithful ministry. God’s Word must govern how we preach, worship, counsel, and make disciples. When human wisdom and methods take precedence over Scripture, the church begins to lose sight of the very truth it has been entrusted to proclaim. The Sufficiency of Scripture Summit, November 6–7 at Grace Community Church, will focus on the sufficiency of Scripture and its implications for the church today. The summit will feature four main sessions and practical breakouts covering discipleship, counseling, missions, leadership, and women’s ministry. During the final session, ministry leaders from around the world will ceremonially sign a newly drafted statement affirming the sufficiency of Scripture.

Every generation has a responsibility to defend the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word. As new challenges arise and the church faces pressure to compromise, we must hold firmly to what God has revealed in Scripture. On November 6–7, the Sufficiency of Scripture Summit will bring together Christian leaders at Grace Community Church to affirm this conviction, culminating in the signing of a statement on the sufficiency of Scripture.

A few weeks ago, we invited you to pray for the funds needed to reprint La Biblia de las Américas (LBLA). This trusted translation, which uses the Castilian Spanish spoken in Spain, had gone out of print, leaving pastors, students, and churches struggling to obtain copies. We’re grateful to report that the project was fully funded within days, and all 5,000 Bibles have arrived in Spain. Berea Seminary president David Robles shares his gratitude for the prayers and generosity that made this possible. We rejoice with our brothers and sisters in Spain and praise the Lord for His provision. Through TMAI Global Publications, we work to make biblical resources available to pastors and churches who need them. Learn more about our publishing work and how you can support it through the link in our bio.

William Tyndale believed that every Christian should have access to God’s Word in a language they could understand. His commitment to translating Scripture into English came at great personal cost, ultimately leading to his martyrdom in 1536. Nearly 500 years later, pastors and churches around the world still depend on having the Scriptures available in their own language so they can teach God’s Word, shepherd His people, and proclaim the gospel. May we never take for granted the privilege of having God’s Word so readily available to us.

Following our European Regional Summit in France, Dr. Mark Tatlock and members of our TMAI team traveled to Yerevan, Armenia, for a conference focused on the sufficiency of Scripture. We’re grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside local churches through biblical training and the translation of sound theological materials into Armenian. Please join us in thanking the Lord for His work in Armenia and praying that He would continue to strengthen His church through the faithful teaching of Scripture.

The sufficiency of Scripture is foundational to faithful ministry, wherever the Lord calls His people to serve. For more than three decades, TMAI has been committed to equipping pastors and church leaders around the world to rightly handle God’s Word, trusting that Scripture provides everything necessary for faithful ministry. May we continue to hold fast to the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word, confident that ministry carried out according to His Word honors Him.

A sweet moment from our European Regional Summit in Reims, France, as training center leaders from across Europe lift their voices in praise, singing “I’ll Fly Away.” Though these men serve in different countries and ministries, they share the same hope in Christ and the promise of eternal life with Him. What an encouragement to gather together, worship the Lord, and enjoy fellowship as brothers in Christ. We’re grateful for these men and pray that the Lord would continue to strengthen and encourage them as they serve His church.

When the church gathers for worship, we have the privilege of praising the Lord together through Scripture, prayer, and congregational singing. Those who lead God’s people must be trained to ensure that what is taught and sung is grounded in biblical truth. As we worship together, we proclaim the truth of who God is and what He has done through Jesus Christ. May our churches be known for worship that honors the Lord and bears witness to His gospel.

One of the great blessings of TMAI’s European Regional Summit is the opportunity for leaders from different training centers to spend time together, share what the Lord is doing in their ministries, and pray for one another. Christian Andresen, founder of the European Bible Training Center in Germany, shares how these annual meetings have helped cultivate unity among the leaders serving throughout Europe. We’re grateful for these men and their commitment to training pastors who will faithfully teach God’s Word and serve their local churches. Please join us in praying that the Lord would continue to bless their ministries and the churches they serve.

The truth of God’s Word is certain because God Himself has revealed it. Scripture gives us everything we need to know Him, understand His will, and live in obedience to Him. Pastors entrusted with shepherding Christ’s church must be equipped to accurately handle Scripture, teach sound doctrine, and guard the truth entrusted to them. Recognizing the weight of this responsibility, TMAI is committed to providing biblical training that prepares men for the faithful ministry of God’s Word.

TMAI leaders from across Europe are gathering in Reims, France, for our European Regional Summit. Over the next few days, nearly 60 attendees will come together for fellowship, encouragement, and discussions focused on the ongoing development of their training ministries. The summit is also an opportunity to hear firsthand how the Lord is working through our training centers across Europe as they equip pastors to faithfully shepherd their local churches. Please join us in praying for a fruitful time together, that the Lord would encourage these men, grant wisdom in their discussions, and continue to strengthen His church throughout Europe.

As pastors around the world are trained to faithfully study and teach God’s Word, they help their congregations grow in their understanding of Scripture and recognize the importance of examining everything in light of its truth. We pray that local churches would be filled with believers like the Bereans, who received the Word with eagerness and examined the Scriptures daily (Acts 17:11). Excerpt from Dr. Mark Tatlock’s chapter, “God-Ordained Authority in Missions,” in the Biblical Missions textbook.

The 5,000 La Biblia de las Américas (LBLA) Bibles have arrived in Spain! We praise the Lord for His provision in bringing this project to completion. What began as a need shared by Berea Seminary has now become a reality through the prayers and generosity of those who faithfully supported this effort. These Bibles will soon be in the hands of pastors, students, and churches throughout Spain. We’re grateful to everyone who helped make this possible, and we pray that the Lord would use His Word to strengthen His church and advance the gospel throughout Spain.

For centuries, faithful men have labored to make the Scriptures available to God’s people. John Wycliffe was among them, helping bring the Bible into English so that ordinary Christians could read God’s Word for themselves. That work continues today as faithful translations of Scripture are made available to churches around the world. Please pray that the Lord would continue to provide pastors and believers with access to His Word, that they may grow in their knowledge of the truth and faithfully proclaim it to others.

The sufficiency of Scripture is a conviction that must remain central to the life and ministry of the church. God’s Word is sufficient to equip believers for faithful Christian living and to guide pastors as they shepherd His people. On November 6–7, the Sufficiency of Scripture Summit will bring together pastors, ministry leaders, and believers at Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, to affirm and defend this essential doctrine. We encourage you to join us alongside @mastersuniv and other like-minded ministries for this important gathering as we affirm our confidence in the authority and sufficiency of God’s Word.

God has spoken through His Word, and He has given us everything we need for faith and godliness. Scripture teaches us how to know Him, walk in obedience, and faithfully serve His church. This is especially important for those called to pastoral ministry. Their preaching, shepherding, and every aspect of ministry must be grounded in the conviction that God’s Word is sufficient.

The Georgian MacArthur Study Bible is ready to make its way into the hands of the church in Georgia. Through TMAI Global Publications, we’ve had the privilege of helping bring this project together in partnership with Grace to You, Slavic Gospel Association, and believers in Georgia. We’re grateful for everyone who helped make this possible. Please pray as these Bibles are sent out, that the Lord would use them to equip pastors, strengthen believers, and serve His church in Georgia for years to come. #TheMastersAcademyInternational #TMAI #GlobalPublications #MacArthurStudyBible #GraceToYou #SlavicGospelAssociation #BiblicalResources #BiblicalTraining #GlobalMissions #GlobalChurch
