    ‘The college library was USELESS’ – Jacob Haasnoot from Langham Netherlands, January 2026

    On our first Langham Live call of 2026, we were joined by Jacob Haasnoot, the Director of Langham's new branch in the Netherlands!  Jacob brings with him a wealth of experience, including a number of years teaching theological students in Ethiopia and South Sudan. It was here that he first saw Langham's impact for himself. His college received contextually relevant books for its library through our library grants scheme. This hugely benefited his students.  Setting up the new Langham entity in the Netherlands has come with its challenges, which you’ll also hear about. So enjoy this encouraging conversation between Jacob, who’s also called Jaap, and our National Director John Libby. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Langham Live podcast, we’re letting you listen in on our monthly zoom prayer meetings, called ‘Langham Live’, during which a guest from another part of the world shares about their ministry, their connection with Langham and points for prayer.  So now you can catch up while you’re out and about, in the car, doing jobs or sitting down with a cuppa!

    'We're seeing SIGNIFICANT GROWTH across Africa, despite many challenges' - Femi Adeleye, Langham Preaching Director for Africa

    Our dear brother Femi Adeleye, Director for Langham Preaching Africa, shares major encouragements, issues and requests for prayer in the latest Langham Live podcast episode. Femi, who is also a Langham Scholar, has been involved in Langham Preaching in Africa since it started there in 2003. It's his 10th year as Director for Africa, and now Femi leads a team of nine people who coordinate training seminars in 32 countries. These include new movements starting in Guinea, the Gambia and Gabon in 2023.  Femi highlighted the prevalence of the so-called ‘prosperity Gospel’ in his continent, which means preaching training is a pressing need. He also shared major concerns about security: churches are being attacked and pastors displaced, which is hindering the training.  The interview was conducted by Simon Foulds, LPUKI's Supporter Development Manager. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Langham Live podcast, we’re letting you listen in on our monthly zoom prayer meetings, called ‘Langham Live’, during which a guest from another part of the world shares about their ministry, their connection with Langham and points for prayer.  So now you can catch up while you’re out and about, in the car, doing jobs or sitting down with a cuppa!

    Colin Macpherson - Director of Publisher Development

    Colin Macpherson has worked with Langham for many years as the Director of Publisher Development. Based near Inverness, Scotland, Colin walks alongside indigenous publishing houses around the world to enable good Christian books written by local authors to be published. There are a multitude of factors involved and Colin has been a crucial guiding hand, working with publishers in 40 – 50 different languages This is such a fascinating conversation as we take a behind-the-scenes look at an area of Langham’s work that might not usually get lots of attention. But the impact of locally written Christian books in heart languages is hugely transformative. The interviewer is Langham UKI’s National Director John Libby. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Langham Live podcast, we’re letting you listen in on our monthly zoom prayer meetings, called ‘Langham Live’, during which a guest from another part of the world shares about their ministry, their connection with Langham and points for prayer.  So now you can catch up while you’re out and about, in the car, doing jobs or sitting down with a cuppa!

    Mary Evans is a long-standing supporter and trustee of Langham with many years of experience teaching theology here and overseas.  Mary has been on the board of trustees for Langham Partnership since 2010, but her connection with Langham go back further than that, as we’ll hear in this conversation.  Mary was on the staff at London Bible College – now called London School of Theology – for 35 years. She joined the board of various organisations such as the Bible Society, Latin Link and SIM.
