Dr. Delron & Peggy Shirley
Teach All Nations Mission (TAN) is a global evangelical educational ministry birthed from the teaching ministries of Delron and Peggy Shirley. The name Teach All Nations Mission was chosen to carefully indicate exactly what the heart of Delron and Peggy’s mission is.
TAN’s commitment is to establish a solid foundation in the national pastors and leaders so that they can help enrich the people. The vision is Christian teaching materials (in English and the local languages) in printed form and on audio and video, providing scholarships to Christian colleges and Bible schools for promising students, assisting in establishing and building of Bible schools, and broadcasting via the internet, radio, and television.

Join us in making a life-saving impact for the Quessemba Clinic in Liberia. Our mission is to send critical medical supplies and equipment to this new clinic, where countless lives are at stake due to a lack of essential resources. The Quessemba Clinic will serve as a lifeline for thousands of people in Liberia, a region facing numerous health challenges. This newly built clinic is ready to be occupied and medical personnel are ready to report to duty; but, there are no supplies or equipment – not even a stethoscope! Since the nearest clinic is many miles away on a road that is impassable during the rainy season and treacherous during the rest year, many patients die before they can reach medical assistance. Will you help us prevent this needless loss of life by equipping this new clinic that will serve the villages that are scattered throughout this remote area. Thousands of people are depending upon our help to get this facility up and running to save lives and better their living conditions.
Project C.U.R.E. has partnered with Teach All Nations by providing a full 40-foot shipping container filled with all the needed supplies to fully equip this hospital – valued at approximately $400,000. Currently we need to raise $30,000 to get the supplies from the warehouse here in the US to the village in the remote region of Liberia.
Every dollar you donate brings us one step closer to our goal of transforming healthcare in Liberia. Your generosity will have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of those who need it most.
Together, we can help save lives and bring hope to the people of Liberia. Please consider making a donation today to support Teach All Nations Ministries and Project C.U.R.E. in this life-saving mission. Your compassion can make a world of difference in the lives of those who are suffering. Thank you for being a part of this humanitarian effort.

When Delron was dean of Indiana Christian University, he assisted Dr. Tunde Bakare in opening an affiliate Bible college in his church in Lagos, Nigeria. After a few years of operation, it was decided that, rather than having a full-time school, a series of intensive short courses would better fill the needs of the students. As a result, a new approach called CLASSIIIC was developed. The program’s name is an acrostic for the full title: Christian Leadership Advanced Strategic Service Intensive Interactive Interdenominational Course. Even though this is quite a “mouthful,” every aspect of the title is incorporated into the annual five-day course which is taught by Dr. Bakare, Delron, and one or two selected guest teachers each year. Beginning in 2006, Delron has traveled to Nigeria every year except for one year when it was decided that it was unwise to bring in an international speaker due to civil unrest in the country. After the 2020 edition was canceled due to the pandemic, it wasn’t until this September that the course was able to be resumed.
This year’s in-person attendance consisted of more than six hundred Christian, business, and political leaders from Nigeria and approximately one hundred and fifty online participants from around the country and abroad. The theme for the week was “The Triumphant Rebirth of Hope” with Delron focusing on the book of Job which, other than the Psalms, has more mention of hope than any other book in the Bible. He also demonstrated how the message of hope in the Psalms penetrated the history of Israel as it went through stages of idolatry, destruction, captivity, and revival. Of course, the resurrection of Jesus was emphasized as the apex of reborn hope. Dr. Bakare’s explanation of the rebirth of hope came from the story of Naomi in the book of Ruth, describing how she lost everything but experienced a miraculous restoration. In the sessions taught by guest speakers, the message of the rebirth of hope was illustrated form the book of Esther which records the account of a planned genocide that turned out to put the oppressed Jewish residents of Persia in the “driver’s seat” of the empire.
Of all the pieces of literature ever written, certainly the book of Revelation – the Apocalypse – is the richest source for clues and hints as to the end times, but it is interesting that the book opens with a very poignant section that addresses life leading up to the curtain call of history. As the Apostle John was confined on the penal island of Patmos, his spirit must have grieved for the churches that he had served back on the Turkish peninsula of Asia Minor. Miraculously, the Risen Lord Jesus visited him and gave him words of warning and encouragement to share with the pastors and their parishioners that he had left behind on the mainland.
Many Bible scholars have analyzed the messages given to the seven churches in chapters two and three as a prediction of the history of the church. They see the church at Ephesus (chapter 2:1-7) as depicting the zealous newly birthed church during its first century and a half (AD 30 to AD 170). The Smyrna church (chapter 2:8-11) is seen as representing the period of great persecution under the iron fist of Rome (AD 170 through AD 312). The compromising church of Pergamos (chapter 2:12-17) is designated as a representative of the period when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire and, therefore, made many concessions to the secular government (AD 312 to approximately AD 600). Thyatira (chapter 2:18-29), at least to the Protestant authors, represents the thousand years that the Roman Catholic Church – in their mind, the harlot church – dominated the scene (AD 600 until 1517). The church at Sardis (chapter 3:1-6) is spoken of as being dead even though it was seen as alive and as needing to strengthen the things that were ready to die. To the scholars who have characterized these churches as depicting various stages in church history, this church stands for the Reformation period when the church was struggling to come back to life (AD 1517 through AD 1750). The Philadelphia church (chapter 3:7-13) which had an open door set before it is seen as representing the period of great mission expansion beginning with William Carey and continuing through the twentieth century (AD 1750 through AD 2000). The last church in the sequence is the lukewarm Laodicean church (chapter 3:14-22) that Jesus sees as so detestable that He vomits it up. Unfortunately,
