The Preacher and the Ploughboy: Advancing the Mission of William Tyndale in the 21st Century

In 1526, William Tyndale’s English Bible arrived in England—an act of bold defiance against spiritual neglect and biblical illiteracy. By placing Scripture into the hands of everyday people, Tyndale ignited a movement that empowered even the ploughboy to know more of God’s Word than the pope himself.
Today, faithful pastors carry that torch—devoting their lives to preaching and teaching the Bible so that it reaches not just hands, but hearts.

Preach London 2026 invites you to our 4th annual conference, where we’ll explore the sacred calling of the shepherd: to exposit Scripture for the salvation, sanctification, and equipping of God’s people.

Join us for four days of:

  • Expository preaching and teaching that challenges and equips
  • Rich fellowship with like-minded pastors, church leaders, and aspiring ministers
  • Spiritual refreshment rooted in the power and beauty of God’s Word

Whether you're a seasoned pastor, a church leader, or a man preparing for ministry, this is an opportunity to be sharpened, strengthened, and sent back to your local church to advance the mission.

In addition, three breakout sessions will be available for the wives of those attending the conference. These times are intended to offer biblical encouragement, practical support, and the opportunity to build relationships with others in ministry life. Each session will be led by women experienced in ministry life and aimed at supporting those who faithfully stand alongside their husbands.
