•
Christianity Today (Fall 2008)
Our mission of
using cutting-edge technology to train and equip Christian leaders all
over the world for free is truly stimulating much interest and
conversation.
We firmly
believe that biblical education is an extension of the gospel, and that
the gospel is not for sale. This message is resonating with members of
the press.

Addresses the United Nations
|
|
Dr. Richard
Pratt, president of Third Millennium Ministries,
addressed over 200 United Nations ambassadors and diplomats at an Easter
service. Several friends of Third Millennium were also in attendance. Dr.
Pratt’s message shared the hope of Christ for the world and forged
relationships with key governmental leaders from over 70 countries. It is
our prayer that these relationships will strengthen our distribution
networks with missionaries, Christian organizations, and believers
throughout the world.

Christianity
Exploding in Africa
A new study from
the Center for the Study of Global Christianity estimates that there
will be 200 million more Christians in Africa
by 2025. For there to be one pastor for every 200 people, the Church
must educate one million pastors in 17 years. Africa
does not have enough well-trained pastors to lead its large flock. Many
churches are led by individuals with little or no biblical training.
Over time, cults and false teachings often infiltrate the churches,
leading congregants away from God and the truths of Scripture.
However, the
Spirit is at work, and the church is growing! Third Millennium is
training church leaders all over the world so that believers may eat
the meat of the gospel and become more deeply rooted in their faith.

Satellite
Broadcast in The Middle East
Third
Millennium’s Arabic curriculum is being streamed on the Al Bisharah
satellite network in the Middle East.
Our Arabic coordinator learned of the network’s website from a
Christian Arab-language publication, and was pleasantly surprised to
find Third Millennium videos being streamed on the site the first time
he logged on! How encouraging it is to learn that God is using the
efforts of Third Millennium Ministries in ways we do not even realize!
From Al
Bisharah’s site: “The core values of Al Bisharah are to
minister to the Middle Eastern culture, provide interactive talk shows,
biblical programming in Arabic and Aramaic languages, offer easy
accessibility through satellite TV and internet, help human souls
experience God, provide biblical accuracy and correct use of Scripture,
confront every person with the power of God’s Word, and assist
the Middle Eastern community networks.”

IIIM
Used in Over 100 Countries
Christians in
more than 100 countries are actively using Third Millennium curriculum
to train and equip leaders to spread the gospel and shepherd the flock.
Our latest request for materials came from Northern
Siberia. Videos that were given to a missionary were
duplicated several times and then passed from person to person until
finally reaching this remote area.
Since sound
biblical teaching is so plentiful in the Western world, it is often
difficult for many of us to imagine the hunger so many around the world
have for biblical instruction. To nourish this spiritual hunger, Third
Millennium encourages the “pirating” of our videos and
other materials in non-western lands — a stance almost unheard of
in our day. At Third Millennium we want the gospel to go forth as never
before! To help this happen, we offer our materials for free, and we
encourage unlicensed duplication for missions use.

New
Partnership
Dr. Richard
Pratt recently presented special
lectures at Wycliffe Hall, a theological college at Oxford University
in England.
Throughout history, many bold leaders worked to advance the kingdom
while at Oxford
, and many of them were martyred for their
beliefs. The sites of their deaths are still marked at Oxford
.
Oxford ’s current leadership possesses the same
boldness as their predecessors, and still seeks to carry the gospel
throughout the world. We are delighted that faculty members at
Wycliffe Hall have expressed interest in partnering with Third
Millennium, and we look forward to a fruitful ministry together.
