"Ecclesiology precedes missiology. We have to be right on the church before we can be right about missions." - David Doran (ThM, DMin)

In other words, what the church believes about itself and God’s design for ministry necessarily shapes how it carries out missions.

In this conversation, Dr. David Doran—Senior Pastor of Inter-City Baptist Church and President of Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary—joined TMAI President Mark Tatlock to discuss the state of missions in the evangelical church.

Together We Pray 2026: https://bit.ly/49ypEpl |

Scripture calls us repeatedly to pray for one another.

It also teaches that our prayers matter in God’s sovereign plan. As Paul writes, “the word of God is not bound” (2 Timothy 2:9), and the Lord uses the prayers of His people as His Word advances across the world.

Together We Pray is our annual summer prayer event.

We take this opportunity to pray for our training centers around the world as individuals and together as local church congregations.

This year's Together We Pray theme is "Unhindered," reflecting the fact that God’s will and Word are not bound by human circumstance.

The more that the world tries to oppose the truth, the more the Lord strengthens His people to proclaim it boldly.

This is how the church advances—not by human strength or strategy, but through the faithful proclamation of Scripture and dependent prayer.

In His grace, He invites us into this work: not to accomplish His will by our effort, but to align our hearts with it, to participate in it through prayer, and to glorify Him as it unfolds.

Join us July 19-26 in prayer for fellow saints and the work of the ministry—that the Word would go forth boldly and unhindered: https://bit.ly/49ypEpl

Millions in Latin America still do not have access to a church where sound, faithful preaching can be heard.

In San Cristobal, Venezuela, a group of believers has been gathering week after week, praying for a biblical church to be established in their city.

In 2022, these believers sent a request to The Expositor’s Seminary (SEMDEX) in Colombia.

Will you help us establish a church?

SEMDEX’s faculty invited the group to receive training and preparation for ministry at one of the seminary’s campuses.

The Venezuelans began travelling regularly to Cali to join classes and experience the biblical community modeled by SEMDEX’s partner church.

Now, that training is bearing fruit as they study the Scriptures, make disciples, and serve one another.

Will you join us in praying alongside SEMDEX for these believers?

Pray that God would answer their need and raise up a committed leader for the task of establishing a church in San Cristobal.

"Interpret the word faithfully, speak with humble conviction, preach into life practically—and do it over and over again until the Lord comes."

Alexey is a well-known author and speaker throughout the Russian-speaking world.

"I wanted to enroll in The Expositor's Academy (TEA) because I longed for solid, biblical training to strengthen both my life and ministry.

I also desired to be better equipped to shepherd God’s people with clarity and conviction. TEA has really helped me deepen my understanding of Scripture.

As a result, it has helped me grow in my preaching and teaching by giving me tools to serve with greater confidence and faithfulness."

"A preacher approved by God faithfully preaches the truth, seeking to please God rather than men, because God Himself is his first and foremost audience."

David Robles spoke at the 2026 TMAI International Symposium on the topic of the Preacher Approved by God.

David serves as the TMAI regional leader for Ibero-America and the president of Berea Seminary in León, Spain.

He also maintains a broad preaching and teaching ministry throughout Spain, Europe, the U.S., and other Spanish-speaking countries.

We're excited to announce the release of a new Swahili Bible Translation, recently completed by TMAI's Global Publishing Department.

Mark Tatlock, president of TMAI, shares why this translation has the potential for a broad-reaching impact in East Africa.

After three years of working alongside a team of indigenous translators and pastors, TMAI’s department of global publishing has released a Swahili translation of the MacArthur Study Bible.

Although there are several existing Swahili Bible translations, no study Bible of this size and depth has been produced.

Swahili is a national language in both Kenya and Tanzania, making the MSB invaluable for rural pastors and believers who may not speak or read English.

Would you join us in praying that God would open a door for His Word in these East African nations?

Pray that the Lord would work in the hearts of His people as they study His Word to grow them into a greater knowledge of Himself.
