We Need Your Partnership! Why?

What happens when you support us?

Your gift is not only supporting us to do ministry, but you partner with us to come along side to do real ministry to other pastors too. You help those in ministry who have no means to go to higher education or receive seminary level educational resources or the means to pastor their flock effectively.

Why should you support Into Thy Word?

Church Growth Tip of the Week

A healthy church is prayerful in all of the aspects of church life and ministry. They are reliant upon God's power and the authority of His Word! (John 15:4-5)

Prayer Guide for your Church and Pastor!

Pray that the Word of God will never be compromised, cheapened, or dumbed down, rather be delivered in confidence with power, conviction, clarity, boldness, with love, and in truth (Acts 6:4; Col. 1:28; 1 Tim. 2:1-2; 2 Tim. 2:15).
