The Romans Project provides a unique opportunity for Christians in America to reach beyond local, everyday life, to encourage fellow Christians around the world in a very practical, life-impacting way. We challenge pastors to give themselves to the study of the book of Romans by committing to read the book of Romans twenty times and copying the entire book word for word. Upon completion, each pastor is given an electronic device that contains Pastor Scott Gilchrist's complete exposition of Romans as well as his teachings of other books of the Bible —over 800 messages! The RP continues to expand as the Lord provides opportunity and resources.
