Around the world, there are approximately 2.2 million evangelical churches — and estimates suggest that as many as 85% of those in the Global South are led by pastors with no formal theological training.
The church is growing faster in the Global South than anywhere else on earth. In Africa, Asia, and Latin America, men and women are coming to faith, congregations are multiplying, and a new generation of pastors and church leaders is rising. But growth without depth is fragile.
And in much of the world, the resources that ground and strengthen Christian leadership — solid books, sound theology, the Scriptures themselves — are simply out of reach.
That is the gap that Global Christian Book Fund exists to close.
