Campus & Library Development

We develop campuses and libraries, providing the necessary resources to enable leadership training for generations.

Internationally with the Overseas Council Network, reSource supports Christian leadership development in over 120 schools in 70 countries in Latin America and Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East/North Africa. With your support, we are working with our partner schools in their contexts to fund buildings, equipment, books, and other practical infrastructure needs that make holistic learning and transformation possible.

Your support is helping our partner colleges change the landscape of majority world theological education! Click on a location to learn more about our partner schools: Africa, Asia, Caribbean & Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East & North Africa.

Vietnamese Book Project

A common, consistent, and urgent need of all our seminary partners is better library resources. They lack adequate volumes and the quality of resources is often deficient. In Vietnam they have to deal with whatever books survived from pre-Communist times or materials from other countries that do not meet the seminary’s needs.  Most books are not only dated but are written in either French or English, languages the majority of Bachelor Level students are not proficient in. Without good theological books, it is difficult for students to deepen their learning and for faculty to prepare lessons.

By God’s grace, reSource has become increasingly involved in providing quality library resources in Vietnam. The company Seed Publications (full name in Vietnamese is Văn Phẩm Hạt Giống) was formed to meet this need and to expand the materials available for Christians in Vietnam. (The name Seed is inspired by Jesus’ parable of the sower, in which the seed stands for the Word of God.) Seed exists to translate existing materials from overseas, solicit works from local Vietnamese writers, prepare them for publication, and distribute them through bookstores and churches.

We have completed a number of books with another 10 in the pipeline. However, since the list of books required is large, we are keen to seek funding for more translations so we can continue to help the schools that we support as well as Bible colleges, pastors, and lay leaders in Vietnam-and beyond. A by-product of this project is that by using Vietnamese expertise and sources, we increase the sustainable development of theological study resources. This is strategic in resourcing the many men and women God is calling to serve as trained Christian leaders in Vietnam as well as among Vietnamese diaspora across the world.

In the West, most of us don’t have to go far to have a wealth of Christian literature at our fingertips. For most Christians – our brothers and sisters in the Majority World – this is not the case.

reSource is committed to developing vibrant libraries, as they are essential to good theological education. They produce more discerning students, and in turn, a more discerning church. Our involvement includes librarian training, translation and publishing, software, books, digital resources, and infrastructure.
