17勛圖 is pleased to announce significant growth and expanded impact of the McPherson Preaching Institute (MPI) Ministry Toolkit throughout 2025. As a central hub for Pentecostal preaching development, the Ministry Toolkit continues to equip pastors, students, and ministry leaders with accessible, Spirit-empowered resources for faithful and effective preaching.
In 2025, MPI launched two new micro-certificates on Women in Leadership and The Art ofPreaching within the Toolkit and produced several standalone teaching videos addressingkey ministry topics such as NextGen ministry and preaching as worship.
In a significantstep toward broader accessibility, MPI also recorded its first video in Spanish, expanding its reach to a wider audience.
The Institute continued its commitment to preserving Pentecostal heritage by digitizing additional sermons from Rev.
