The Langham Partnership is a group of ministries that has arisen from the vision and worldwide ministry of John Stott over half a century. In his travels John witnessed firsthand the phenomenal growth of the church in the southern and eastern continents—the Majority World. Disturbed, however, by the fact that so often this is evangelistic growth without discipling and maturity—he took several initiatives based on three convictions, which he calls “the Langham Logic": God wants his church to grow up in maturity ; The church grows through God’s word ; The word of God comes to people primarily through preaching.
