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.
This past Christmas, Teach All Nations assisted our ministry partners in Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, and Niger in special holiday outreaches in their areas.
Our partners in Niger, an almost totally Muslim country, were able to share the gospel through the Jesus Film in eight different villages where they freely proclaimed the gospel in the homes and streets during the day, resulting in more than five thousand people coming to openly watch the film in the evening. More than two hundred waited behind to ask questions after the movie – five of whom gave their lives to Jesus. Terrorists had recently attacked the village where the final showing was held; so, the team provided lunch for children who had been victimized, many of whom had lost their parents.
The teams in India and Sri Lanka were able to hold special children’s outreaches where they taught them Bible lessons, played games with them, and gave each child a special Christmas gift and a nice meal.
Our workers in Myanmar held two special outreaches – one which brought a capacity crowd to their church building and another in a nearby village. They reported that they experienced a powerful touch of the Holy Spirit in the church service, with many being healed and delivered.
John the Baptist had promised that Jesus would baptize His followers in the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 3:11, Mark 1:8, Luke 3:16, John 1:33, Acts 1:5) Certainly the disciples anticipated this baptism in the Holy Spirit every day during their three years with Jesus. They did, indeed, experience the supernatural on a regular basis as they lived and traveled with the Master. They saw multitudes fed with only a handful of fish and bread (Matthew 14:20), they witnessed innumerable healings (Matthew 4:23) and deliverances (Mark 1:27), they drank wine that had been transformed from clear water (John 2:9), they marveled as storms at sea quieted at His command (Mark 4:39), they trembled as Jesus walked on water and even invited them to join Him (Matthew 14:28), they had even seen the dead raised to life again (John 11:44); but they never experienced the fulfillment of the promise to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. I can imagine that they must have doubted Jesus’ promise concerning being baptized in the Holy Spirit when they saw their Master taken in arrest and eventually executed without giving them the Holy Spirit. I’m certain that they were thrilled when Jesus renewed this promise after His resurrection. (Acts 1:5) In these last moments with their Master before He departed this earthly realm, He once again renewed the promise and commanded that they wait to receive this all-important impetus for their lives and ministry. (Acts 1:4-5)

Our mission to Honduras, our first visit to the country, took us to the picturesque mountain town of Las Esperanza, a quaint setting inhabited mostly by the gentle and friendly decedents of the indigenous Lenca Indian tribe. This visit was essentially an introductory...
The Holy Spirit A Key Element in Jesus’ Life When Jesus’ disciples saw Him praying, they realized that there was something really different about the way He prayed; so they asked Him to let them in on His secret. (Luke 11:1) He began with a simple explanation...

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...
