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.
Although Nepal has been a major focus of the ministry of Teach All Nations since its inception, we haven’t had the opportunity to be back in the country for several years. So, this trip was especially meaningful in that we were able to renew old friendships and see how the Lord has blessed and increased the ministry there over the past few years – even in spite of the pandemic. In fact, the pandemic was not only the reason that we were unable to visit Nepal for the last three years but also the motivation for this trip. The believers in the country were begging for us to come, saying that they were hungry for a time to get together for fellowship, encouragement, teaching, and empowering.
We concentrated our ministry in the two major cities of the country – Katmandu and Pokhara. Peggy and Linda Easton (one of our board members and one of Peggy’s faithful ministry partners) hosted women’s conferences while Delron taught at the Bible college and led church conferences. In addition, we ministered in several churches and also released the Nepali version of Delron’s recent book Maximum Impact. Attendance at each of the conferences was between three and four hundred delegates, but the impact will be increased exponentially as each delegate will essentially become an ambassador, taking the message far and wide throughout the nation. In each meeting, we emphasized the necessity of being filled with the Holy Spirit and operating under the power of His anointing.
Second Corinthians 9:10 says that God supplies on two different levels – seed for sowing and bread for eating. We have already considered the fact that He gives us the Holy Spirit at salvation like a seed and multiplies His work in our lives through the baptism in the Holy Spirit as an abundant harvest. I encourage you to enjoy both the seed and the harvest. Take the whole loaf to feed yourself and share with others. And that loaf includes much more than just the ability to speak in tongues. In fact, there is a whole array of supernatural abilities that the Holy Spirit desires to impart to us so that we will have something supernatural to give to the world.
These gifts that the Holy Spirit has for us occur in three categories. First are the gifts of revelation. The word of wisdom is knowing how to act wisely now because of how it will affect the future. The word of knowledge is knowing something that is impossible for you to discover at the moment. Discerning of spirits is knowing what motivates people – their human spirits, demonic spirits, or the Holy Spirit. Next are the gifts of power. The gift of faith is a supernatural level of believing God to work on your behalf. The gifts of healing confer supernatural authority to set people free from sicknesses, diseases, and injuries. The working of miracles, which in the original Greek language meant the “demonstration of power,” is the showing forth of God’s supernatural forces as the ability of God works through us. In the last category are the gifts of inspiration.

It is of utmost importance that we remember that Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit in personal terms – as an individual rather than as an influence or substance. Unfortunately, many people today see Him as an influence rather than a person with whom we are to develop...
I have a really exciting testimony to share from my recent mission to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but I need to give you a bit of the background before I can tell you what happened. On Delron’s last trip to the Congo, he visited a friend of his who, after...

We normally reserve our monthly newsletter for exactly that – sharing the news of what is happening in our ministry. However, inspired by the recent State of the Union Address, we’d like to use this newsletter to share the state of the ministry. Through the years that...
