Key takeaways
- Equipping Pastors Worldwide suits a project that trains pastors in expository preaching or supplies books to pastors, with a stated priority on Africa and Asia.
- The annual report gives one total of £13,000, which may include grants to individuals, and does not state a grant range, so no typical request size is published and it is worth asking the contact shown before setting a figure.
- No application process is published and no deadlines are given, so the first step is to get in touch through the contact shown.
- Students should not expect direct help, because the charity cannot help students directly, and book requests are considered only from people who currently pastor a church or teach at a Bible school, seminary or theological college.
