Spreading the Word in Asia

Philippines

WHEN WMP CO-FOUNDER Watson Goodman first flew to the Philippines with enthusiastic supporter Dean Baker, little did he dream that a divine connection there would make such a difference to so many lives. A Filipino Christian, Bert M., was intent on contacting Watson, but it seemed a miracle that they found each other in Manila. Bert convinced the WMP team to accompany him to refugee camps in Bataan, to see for themselves the need for Scripture booklets in the languages of the people who had fled out of Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. Two camps, surrounded by barbed wire, housed up to 10,000 people without God’s Word. Watson promised Bert that he would go back and produce Scripture booklets for those in the camps. Soon the promised shipment of booklets arrived in Manila, and Bert was able to distribute it all among the refugees.

  Just two weeks after the distribution of the booklets, when Bert returned to the camps to follow up and meet with the pastors, the camps were empty! The refugees had been dispersed to other parts of the world. The shipment from WMP had come “just in time.” The refugees had been able to take Scripture booklets in their own languages with them, wherever they went.

Bert became WMP’s volunteer national coordinator for the Philippines and served faithfully in that capacity for more than 30 years, greatly expanding the availability and effectiveness of WMP literature in the Philippines through his conviction that the Word of God was and always will be the answer for man’s needs. Recently Bert turned over the coordinator responsibilities to Pastor Rene L., mentored for this responsibility by Bert for several years.

WMP will soon be producing two containers of Scripture materials for the Philippines:  one for coordinator Rene L. to share with thousands of distributors throughout the nation, and one for Every Home for Christ.

***************

World Missionary Press has been blessed with the opportunity to print and ship gospel literature to people all over the globe for more than fifty years. Some areas, however, are harder to supply than others. When governments disapprove of such material coming into their countries, it becomes the joy of enterprising Christians who value our booklets to handle printings within their borders. Several ministries in Asia have been doing this for many years.

Myanmar (Burma)

Martin L., WMP’s long-time contact in Myanmar, emailed us in January after an extended trip to the state of Shan, networking with Gospel Outreach Mission’s evangelists and missionaries there. GOM distributes WMP booklets at their education centers, including their newest, Damadi Home, where they have an orphanage ministry and train leaders, and which will become the main distribution center for WMP materials nationwide.

Martin wrote, “Currently our missionaries and distributors need books and booklets for distribution in the areas where we have free education centers and [where] the population is growing. These areas are slum areas and most of the people are very poor. But they are very eager to hear the good news of Jesus Christ …. Please pray for our missionaries, evangelists, and pastors who are reaching out to non-Christians in these areas.”

Martin asked WMP to fund the printing of 50,000 copies of How to Know God in Wa – the language spoken by many in Shan State – as well as 100,000 copies of Help From Above and 25,000 copies of He Is Risen! salvation coloring books in Burmese. Martin reports that WMP Bible studies have proven very useful to Mizo-speaking churches in Myanmar with classes on Sundays, both for children and adults, because of the question-and-answer, fill-in-the-blank format. The translation of Meditations in the Psalms in Mizo is currently waiting to be printed, and the translation of Help From Above into Shan is in process.

Indonesia

Frans K., WMP’s national coordinator in Indonesia, is the primary printer of our materials there. We recently gave him the go-ahead to print 50,000 copies each of WMP’s Bible studies on John and Matthew in Indonesian. With the great demand for these Bible studies, these 100,000 copies will not last long. Some were to be sent to Papua as well as Central Borneo for use in Easter outreach.

Around the same time, our other printer in Indonesia, Jan L., sent an encouraging report on his own work in the island nation. In the nine months between May, 2014 and February, 2015, various churches and Christian groups distributed 90,000 copies of How to Know God in Indonesian and Javanese to cities and villages throughout the country, resulting in 178 confirmed conversions to Christ and four new churches formed! Jan’s report came with the request to print another 100,000 How to Know God booklets in Indonesian, which WMP happily agreed to.

Grateful Quotes

Enabled to be an outreach church in Kenya

“I am personally grateful to God for His provision for our church and Bishop Mulea (Every Home for Christ Kenya), who received a lot of gospel literature from World Missionary Press. This man of God has been generous to supply as much as we need when we have placed orders or requests to him.

“Thank God for the publications of World Missionary Press. These have enabled our church to be an outreach church this last year more than ever before; because of the many new converts, we have been able to plant three new churches (the smallest has 120 members). Glory to God in the highest!”   -Pastor C., Kenya

Changed lives and living testimonies

“I am so grateful to God for His provision of literature, of which booklets from World Missionary Press have been a big blessing to many Bible study clubs and groups. This has enabled many churches across my region to come up with organized Bible study sessions from time to time.

“I have a weekly ministry to prisoners in Kitui G.K. prison. These books have transformed lives of many inmates who have gone back with changed lives and living testimonies. During the last six months, I have seen 674 prisoners give their lives fully to Jesus Christ, and these [booklets] have enabled them to grow to maturity.”  -Rev. K., Kenya

Meet the Team

Karen W. -Business Displays, Volunteer

I saw a sign in front of World Missionary Press advertising an open house and tour. As I am home-schooling my grandson, I thought this would be a great field trip for us. Our family took the tour, and all of us were impressed by the whole operation! I signed up to volunteer and was excited to know that I could bring my grandson with me and that he could make boxes or stuff envelopes.

As I waited for my husband, Steve, to finish the tour (he was observing the new six-color press), I was eating a hot dog and talking to Marie Mack. When she told me that they were looking for someone to fill a part-time position in the Finance Department, I asked for an application. I loved the thought of being part of a team working to get God’s Word out to the world. I had always wanted to be a missionary and being part of the mission at WMP meant I could be on the mission field 20 minutes from home!

I am so thankful that God brought me here. I love it! The people are wonderful! I thank God for our “Press family” and the privilege of serving Him.

I worked in the Finance Department until last October, when, due to family illness, I had to be at home more. I still volunteer as much as I can. I like the fact that my son and grandson can also volunteer.

In my free time, I like to read and fish and garden. I like to can or dehydrate the food I have grown so that we can enjoy it in the winter. I also like to spend time with my family.

Steve W. -Quality Assurance Coordinator

My wife, Karen, heard about a free tour of World Missionary Press, and we decided to use it as a “field trip” for our grandson, Keith, whom we home school. When I mentioned to one of the tour guides that I had taught some printing classes and I liked seeing the operation of the large presses, he told me that WMP was hiring and that maybe I should apply. When I got to the car, I heard my wife was also told that she should apply if she would like to work here, so we both applied and were hired in July, 2014.

I am the Quality Assurance Coordinator and I also work in the prepress department. I love the atmosphere here at WMP. I am a retired public school teacher from South Bend, and I really appreciate the lack of “drama” here. People cooperate with each other, and we get the Lord’s work accomplished.

When I’m not working, I enjoy fishing, woodworking, and construction as hobbies. I also enjoy family time. I think I like working at WMP as much as any hobby. I have a wonderful wife, adopted grandson, and stepson living with me. Most of my extended family likes to fish, swim, or go for boat rides. As we live next to Lake Wawasee, we enjoy water sports all summer.

WMP Partners Around the World

Steve B., Nicaragua

Steve B. (center) and the Messiah Project have used WMP literature to reach the far corners of Nicaragua since 2004. By helping to translate WMP Scripture booklets and A Bible Study on John into the Miskito language, they introduced God’s Word to a people who had never heard of God’s love for them.

WMP: Please describe your background and ministry.

Steve: As a new believer, I began sharing the gospel in Northeast Oklahoma. Two years later, the Lord opened the door for ministry in Mexico, when I first began using WMP literature. In 2002 He opened another door – Nicaragua. For the past 12 years, the Lord has opened numerous doors for the Messiah Project (MP) to share the gospel, even to remote unreached regions – doors such as helping bring the written Word of God to the Miskito Indians of the Rio Coco for the first time, reaching mountainous villages throughout northern Nicaragua, and traveling the rivers of the Sumu Indians.

WMP: How has free literature affected evangelism?

Steve: Having free materials available increases exponentially our ability to share the gospel. Virtually everyone receives a Scripture booklet gladly. The gesture of offering a booklet to an individual as a “gift” often becomes a door to talk about Jesus.

Men, women, and children who otherwise might feel inadequate to share the gospel are often willing to share Scripture booklets, enabling more people to be involved in evangelism outreach. Often these individuals go on to be involved in hospital or jail visitations or become street preachers, pastors, or even MP missionaries. The value of the booklets in raising people to share the gospel is indispensable.

Each month native MP missionaries, loaded with WMP literature, are sent on short-term trips throughout northern Nicaragua. These missionaries – native pastors and church leaders prepared by the Lord through years of faithfully sharing the gospel locally – report God’s goodness and grace through numerous miracles and salvations each month.

Scripture booklets play an important role in 568 feeding centers, where more than 58,000 children, pregnant women, elderly, and disabled receive a vitamin-enriched meal along with the Word of God.

WMP: How effective are the topical Scripture booklets in your country?

Steve: After years of experiencing their impact first hand, I believe that God truly inspired the topical format of the Scripture booklets, as they have proven an effective way to introduce the Word of God to people in a  “bite-size” approach. Many in rural and remote regions haven’t had the benefit of a highschool education, but – with the help of the Holy Spirit – are able to grasp a topic through the selected verses. People of all education levels are able to focus on a particular topic without distraction. Plus, the format makes it easier for missionaries with less experience to share the gospel more effectively and with more confidence.

President’s Corner

Last month’s newsletter included a table of freight shipments awaiting production. I thought it would be helpful to summarize this information each month, to keep you up to date with what we have “in the works.” Each month we get new requests; work with the requesting coordinator or major distributor to refine, plan, and prioritize the requested shipment; and add it to our queue. Combined with the Shipment Status Report table we have been including in our newsletters, this monthly summary of waiting requests will help give you an overview of what’s happening here and insight on how best to pray for our ministry.

We use a standard unit of measure for planning and tracking production we refer to as “equivalency,” based on a 48-page English Help From Abovebooklet. For measuring our volume, items produced such as Bible studies, coloring books, and New Testaments are related to the equivalent number of Help From Above booklets.

Thank you so much for your partnership with World Missionary Press! We greatly appreciate your prayers and donations, helping send millions of portions of God’s eternal Word throughout the world each month. May He bless our efforts together with much lasting fruit!

Updated as of August 2023

World Missionary Press is seeking funding for a number of equipment and property upgrade needs during 2015. Would you like to help us by giving towards these projects?

Multi-function Copier:    $5,880

Strapper:    $9,462

Kodak Prinergy Prepress Workflow System:    $45,387  FUNDED

URGENT – WMP has been offered a $6,000 discount if purchased by the end of December, 2014 (reducing the cost to $39,387). We need to raise 80% of the purchase price before buying this system.

Our prepress department has been manually managing the department’s work flow, including initial development of items (Scripture materials, newsletters, brochures, etc.), changes / corrections to items, storage of source materials, storage of print-ready files, and various other items. Our current manual workflow management system is unwieldy, and makes it difficult for multiple workers to collaborate on projects.

The Kodak Prinergy system is the industry-standard for automating prepress workflow. Including state-of-the-art hardware and software, the system automates the placement of pages for plating, tracks work history, alerts of exception conditions, facilitates combining of full-color jobs (greatly improving efficiency for color covers), provides virtual proofing of print jobs, and is built for project collaboration amongst prepress staff.

 

Bindery Bailer Hopper:    $3,810 FUNDED

With two binderies running much of the time, we need to relieve the backpressure on our bailer. With our current bag system, the ducts feeding bindery trimmings to the bailer can get clogged, shutting down production until cleared. This bailer hopper system will replace our current bag system to better relieve the backpressure.

Bindery Humidification System:    $3,530  FUNDED

We need to add a humidification system to control humidity in the area around our new Osako bindery. This is important, to keep the static electricity down – allowing booklet covers to feed without sticking together.

Sheet-Fed Press Humidification System:    $3,530  FUNDED

We need to add a similar humidification system to the area around our MAN-Roland 6-color press. Controlling humidity is key to keeping paper stock in top condition for printing and binding.

Reception Area Remodeling:    $14,237  FUNDED

This project includes replacing the reception area 43 year old single-pane doors with new high-efficiency double-pane door and window. It also includes remodeling the reception area, providing a more functional, secure, and professional design.

Mission Ideas for Children

 

To request a copy of this brochure, e-mail mailroom@wmpress.org or call 574-831-2111 ext. 213.  You may also download the following online version…Missions Ideas for Children(pdf)

For your children’s ministries, Sunday School, children’s church, or VBS – You will find here a variety of suggestions for your consideration as a focus for your children’s ministry missions offering.

These project ideas relate to reaching boys and girls in other countries with the powerful Word of God.

What better investment can there be! What better way to encourage children to begin focusing on worldwide outreach and the influence they personally can have in fulfilling the Great Commission?

 

 

 

Idea #1

God Loves You! Coloring Books

Your children can provide God Loves You! salvation coloring books, filled with pictures to color and excellent teaching from God’s Word!

WMP can provide a variety of languages for the God Loves You! coloring book so that you can use them to make an attractive poster or project display.

If you wish, you could announce that for every $10 raised, a picture of one coloring book will be added to a display at the front of your meeting room. (You can photo copy the front cover of a God Loves You! coloring book, making enough copies to represent the offering raised.)

 

 

Idea #2

Your Change Brings Change

About five cents will print and send one Scripture booklet anywhere in the world! $1 will print and send 21 Scripture booklets on average. Banks can be provided by WMP for this purpose. These banks can be placed in many locations–people always have loose change! When finished, collect the money from the bank(s), write a check to WMP for the amount, and re-use it!

You can also print your own labels at www.wmpress.org/get-involved/kids-korner and tape them on a jar or can.

 

Idea #3

Fill a Suitcase

Leaders can present a big, empty suitcase at the beginning of VBS, labeled “Sending the Word to the World.” For each dollar a child brings in offerings, he/she can place a (rubber-banded) pack of 25 Scripture booklets into the suitcase. (It actually costs about $1 to produce 21 booklets!)

The goal is to fill the suitcase as full as possible with Scripture booklets!

You can request a supply of The Way to God Scripture booklets for this purpose. They come 500 per 10-lb. box.

Boys and girls in countries around the world need to learn about Jesus and His love. By reading Scripture booklets in their language, they can know how to have their sins forgiven and receive the gift of eternal life!

 

Idea #4

Thermometer Display

Make a large poster of a thermometer showing funds raised for The Way to God Scripture booklets. Color with a red marker as funds increase. Adjust the numbers on the poster according to your expectations.

 

 

Idea #5

Buy a Roll of Paper

One 35″-wide roll of paper for our big printing press, costing about $1,360, can produce the inside pages of more than 85,000 48-page Scripture booklets!

An investment of $680 provides for the inside pages of about 42,500 Scripture booklets like The Way to God!

 

 

Idea #6

Faces of the World

Prepare a large colored drawing of the world (about 10 ft. wide) to post at the front of your meeting room. Have the students color the faces of children from other parts of the world. (You can download these faces from our website: wmpress.org/get-involved/mission-ideas-for-children).  As every $25 comes in for the missions offering, one of the children can glue or tape one of the colored faces onto the world.

This serves as a visual reminder that your students are touching other children around the world with God’s Word. At some point, each child can be given a copy of a God Loves You! coloring book or The Way to God Scripture booklet as a reminder of the ministry they are supporting! (Request enough free copies for this purpose.)

Boys and girls in countries around the world need to learn about Jesus and His love. By reading Scripture booklets in their language, they can know how to have their sins forgiven and receive the gift of eternal life!

Please send offerings in a check to the address below. If you can, please also send a photo and/or description of the project you used to raise funds.

Pointers for Success

1. Help young people learn and practice faith by setting a realistic goal that is not simple to meet. Emphasize that “with God nothing shall be impossible” (Luke 1:37).

2. Involve elements of suspense, surprise, and challenge, using realistic goals on the one hand, but at the same time acknowledging the power of God and the wonderful faith that children are capable of.
3. In telling the stories about the NEED involved in the project selected, be truthful. Use no fabricated stories. If the teacher has pondered the story so well that he/she is moved emotionally, it will relate effectively to the children. They will catch the impact and will respond enthusiastically.

4. It is good to show each day the total money given that day and the total number of booklets the offering represents. (Each booklet costs 5 cents for production and mailing. Each dollar pays for 20 booklets on average.)

If you have created projects of your own that would help to send out God’s Word, we would like to hear about them. Also, it would be of interest to us to hear about the blessings you received from using the projects listed above.

Projects for Adults

Our Number One Need

PRAYER – PRAYER – MORE PRAYER! Satan will bring every type of confusion, onslaught, and battle against the Word of God, which he despises.

We can send you a detailed prayer letter with a request for every day of the month. As you join thousands of others in prayer for specific requests, we will literally see God’s power at work. To join our prayer team, click here to receive our prayer sheet via E-mail, or click here to receive our  prayer letter  via regular mail.

Monthly Support

Establish a personal “$30.00 Club” (or “Club 30”). Through World Missionary Press you can reach an equivalent of one person every hour, 24 hours a day, for $30.00 per month.

Smaller Gifts

Perhaps you can’t take on any of the above projects, but you could send $5 or $10 each month, trusting God to provide it for you.Little is much when God is in it!

Projects which Cost Nothing in Dollars and Cents

Have a Garage Sale
Collect and sell items at a garage sale or auction. Several families could cooperate in conducting a garage sale and send proceeds to WMP.

Used Bibles
Many letters come from pastors, Sunday school teachers, and others overseas, asking for complete Bibles. Do you have good new or used King James Version or New King James Version Bibles you could send? Those with study helps are especially appreciated by workers overseas.

Used Postage Stamps
Yes, we can use them, too. They are exchanged for money so we can print more booklets. Care must be taken when cutting stamps off envelopes so the stamps are not cut or torn. Leave 1/4 inch border around the stamps. We can use only FOREIGN and COMMEMORATIVE U.S. stamps.

WMP Videos/DVDs
Invite some friends or neighbors in and show them one of WMP’s videos or DVDs. Give each one a copy of Help From Above and the latest issue of WMP News. Prayerfully introducing the work in this way can pay rich dividends.

     2. Stocks and bonds.  Gifts of stocks and bonds which have lost value should be liquidated first and the proceeds donated (so that you can take a deduction for the loss).  Stocks and bonds which have appreciated in value can be transferred directly to the World Missionary Press account at Edward Jones (Account No. 943-07667-1-8; DTC routing No. 0057).  You do not need to pay capital gains tax and can usually take a deduction for the gift.  WMP policy is to liquidate gifts of stocks or bonds immediately to benefit the ministry.

Once the transfer has been made, please contact Marie Mack, Treasurer, by phone at 574-831-2111, ext. 221, or by e-mail at marie@wmpress.org with the number of shares and the name of the stock(s) that you are transferring, along with your contact information, so that we can send you a non-cash charitable gift receipt, necessary to qualify you for any available federal income tax deduction on your contribution.  (According to the IRS, valuation of non-cash gifts is the responsibility of the donor.)

    3. Bequests.  God has used the distribution of estates which named World Missionary Press, Inc. as a beneficiary to help increase production of His Word. If you desire to leave a legacy of providing God’s Word to eternal souls in their own languages, you may want to name World Missionary Press, Inc. as a beneficiary in your will, either to receive a specific amount or a percentage of the proceeds of your estate. To avoid any conflicts of interest, World Missionary Press does not assist in the preparation of wills (please contact your own attorney) or in acting as trustee or estate executor.

     4. Other gifts. Donating paid-up insurance policies with cash values (and no longer needed) is one example. If you are interested in giving appreciated real estate or other property, please contact WMP Treasurer, Marie Mack.

Our Vision
World Missionary Press, Inc. does not sell any of its Scriptural materials. From the beginning Watson and Rose Goodman’s vision was to provide the bread of God’s Word to the multitudes of earth free of charge. The words of Jesus rang in their hearts, “Give ye them to eat” (Matthew 14:16b). And so the work began – God providing the means to give out His Word to those who would then give it out to the multitudes who are like “sheep without a shepherd.”

God puts it on the hearts of individuals, churches, and businesses to share what they have. Like the little boy who brought his lunch to Jesus, it is multiplied. “Little becomes much when God is in it.” For many years now, God has enabled the cost of a 48-page topical Scripture booklet to remain at just under 5 cents each, including all costs of printing and binding, overhead, and shipping anywhere in the world, on average. Because of the economy of operation (high-speed equipment printing on rolls of paper, “missionary” wages, and the work of hundreds of volunteers), each donated dollar provides the equivalent of twenty-five 48-page topical Scripture booklets to reach people worldwide in their own language.

Every year World Missionary Press supplies large quantities of Scripture booklets, Bible study booklets, Spanish New Testaments, and Salvation coloring books to countries throughout Latin America. The following are some of the projects you can help us with:

---

 

 

Bolivia: The WMP booklet The Way to God has become a standard teaching tool in hundreds of rural schools in Bolivia. Teams are able to go into classrooms, give each student their own copy and then teach the material to the class. Many students and teachers are finding the Savior through this wonderful open door. Such a project requires thousands of copies of The Way to God in Spanish. WMP is preparing a shipment of over 1 million copies along with Bible studies, New Testaments, and salvation coloring books for Bolivia. Total cost to print and ship the material requested for Bolivia is $51,200. You can provide The Way to God booklet for 500 Bolivian children through a donation of just $20. You Can Help!

Cuba: Opportunities to share WMP literature in Cuba are steadily growing. Believers are finding encouragement and strength through WMP Bible studies and have asked for large quantities of the Bible studies on Matthew and Romans. To meet the challenge of filling these needs WMP is preparing a 20′ container of material that will include over 100,000 copies of each of these Bible studies as well as the Help From Above Scripture booklet and He Is Risen salvation coloring book. Total cost to print and ship the almost 700,000 items in 2,560 boxes for this project is $51,200. A donation of $5,120 will provide a pallet of 51,456 Bible study books. You Can Help!

Mexico: Violence, uncertainty, and fear are part of the daily life of many Mexican people. Christian workers there know that to face these difficulties it is vital THAT the word of God be planted in the heart. Teams are spreading out to every state in Mexico with WMP literature, bringing the message of hope and peace through Jesus Christ. They often face danger, threats, and personal attacks, but they keep on. To assist these faithful believers WMP is preparing a shipment of over 1.475 million Scripture booklets, Bible studies, and New Testaments at a total cost of $80,000. A donation of $6,180 will provide 154,500 copies of the booklet Satan Versus CHRIST . You Can Help!

Paraguay: Through the faithful partnership of the Bible Society of Paraguay WMP is able to provide more than 1.7 million Scripture booklets, Bible Studies, and salvation coloring books for large and small ministries in Paraguay. They work in schools, train pastors and teachers, and evangelize villages and cities, making known the truth of the word of God. Included in a new shipment being prepared for Paraguay is a supply of 51,500 Help From Above booklets in Guarani, a second national language understood by almost 90% of the people. Each of the ministries receiving a portion of this shipment is serving in a different way toward a common goal. Total cost to print the 4,215 boxes for this shipment is $84,300. Every dollar will help to provide 25 school children with a copy of The Way to God.. You Can Help!

2015 April Newsletter pdf

“Living Stones” in Romania

AFTER COMMUNISM FELL in 1989 and reports of conditions in the orphanages of Romania horrified the world the following year, World Missionary Press answered the call for children’s material by shipping a container to Romania filled with 200,000 Romanian copies of the salvation coloring book, He Is Risen!

In one orphanage, as the children were coloring the pictures, they heard a voice they did not recognize saying, “Jesus died for me!” Puzzled, they looked around to see who had said that. It turned out to be a small boy, who up to that time had not spoken one word. He was coloring the picture of Jesus dying on the cross – for him!

As we remember Jesus’ finished work on the cross and reflect on the power of His resurrection life in us, let us commit ourselves afresh to share this wonderful message with a world in desperate need of good news.

Jake and Jessie S. are two of many who responded to God’s call to minister in Romania. Jake received Christ in 1999 as a 19-year-old in Wisconsin while studying Aerospace Engineering. But he knew then that he was called to ministry. Ten years later, a missionary working in Romania visited the church where  Jake served as youth pastor and announced, “If you ever want to visit Romania, come on out, for two weeks or two years – however long you want.” Jake and his wife Jessie both felt God’s prompting to respond. In 2011, Jake and Jessie’s call was confirmed during a visit to Romania. The following year found them in the capital city of Bucharest, learning Romanian, networking with local Christian ministries, and evangelizing with WMP Scripture booklets.

Within 2 1/2 years, God had used the Scripture booklets (and other modes of evangelism) to plant a church. They named the new church Piatra Vie, “Living Stone,” a metaphor Paul used of Jesus in 1 Peter 2:4-5, in which he described the scattered believers in Asia Minor as coming to Christ as to a living stone, rejected by men but chosen by God, and who were themselves, as living stones, “being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.”

Jake writes, “We’re committed to evangelism, and God is sending us those with a similar heart, but the constant need is for materials.” Their ministry supports a full-time native missionary who is on the streets of Bucharest every day doing evangelism. In addition, they have a team of four full-time American missionaries who will be doing the same.

   “I pray our testimony of what God has done in Romania through World Missionary Press will inspire people to keep giving. This ministry is vital, and people need to know that.”

“We’re ministering to a number of refugees from Muslim nations, and they’re really interested in the gospel. One young man, Ali, gave his heart to Jesus a year ago, got baptized, and has since changed his name to reflect his new identity in Christ. [He] is one of the boldest evangelists at our church, telling all the Africans he used to do drugs with that Jesus can change their lives.”

Jake emphasizes the importance of WMP Scripture booklets: “In the time we’ve been here in Romania, we’ve noticed that booklets are powerful. When we arrived, we couldn’t speak Romanian at all, so the only option was to hand out tracts. Now that we can speak Romanian, we still hand out tracts because of their effectiveness. People take them, they read them, and then they keep them to think about. A number of times, people have called us six months or a year later telling us, ‘I read the booklet you gave me, and at first I didn’t want to believe it, but I kept it just in case it was right. Now I see my need for God.'”

Jake and Jessie recently requested more than 4,000 Scripture booklets from WMP in Romanian and Tiganesti, the mother tongue of Bucharest’s considerable Gypsy population; plus a few in English to fuel their ongoing evangelism in Bucharest, promising, “If you can send us these booklets, we will use them. None of them will go to waste sitting on a shelf or forgotten somewhere. …Every one we get is precious. Thank you so much for anything you can do to help us get the gospel to the people of Romania.”

What a beautiful privilege it is to supply Christians – like the “living stones” of this small but growing church in Bucharest – with the tools they need to reach souls in their city!

Recently, The Bible Society of Moldova sent WMP a first-time request for a variety of Scripture booklets in Romanian and Russian for distribution over all of Moldova (next-door neighbor to Romania). Since their goal is to “make Scripture available for everyone,” they have turned to WMP on behalf of three main denominations which often ask about literature for free distribution. Their request for 75,000 booklets includes 10,000 copies of He Is Risen! in Russian and 20,000 in Romanian. What an amazing opportunity to touch a nation for Christ!

   [You can be involved in sharing the Good News! Every $20 provides for 500 Scripture booklets on average; $25 will provide for more than 100 He Is Risen! coloring books.]

Grateful Quotes

Scripture booklets for Haiti

What an awesome God we serve!

“For our own Haiti mission trips and as a flight attendant for Missionary Flights International, I supply tracts to missionaries when they travel to Haiti. The English [copies] are for the missionaries and at home. Your booklets are ideal for evangelism and discipleship because they contain so much Scripture.

“I first learned about your booklets in a wonderful way. My friend and I were witnessing to people on the boardwalk in Vero Beach, Florida. We met a couple who had recently moved from North Carolina to Ft. Pierce, Florida. That day they decided to come up to Vero Beach and give out booklets there for a change. We handed them one of your booklets, and the man said to his wife, ‘See, I told you there was probably already someone else here.’ We asked them if they had booklets in other languages, because we were going on a mission trip to Haiti in about 10 days. They told us they did.

“We met up later. His wife opened the trunk of their car, and there were two unopened boxes of your booklets – one in French and one in Kreyol! She said that when they received these boxes, her husband said, ‘I’m not sure why I got these; I sure wish I knew someone going to Haiti.’ So cool! What an awesome God we serve! His provision is beyond our imagination. God bless you!”   -Cynthia, Florida

   [The Haitian Bible Society has requested another shipment of Kreyol materials, as interest in God’s Word has increased since the earthquake in 2010.]

Meet the Team

Angelee Y.

Secretary to the President

I first heard about World Missionary Press through the church I attended in Wisconsin. They showed the DVD from WMP about Wesley Smith taking Scripture booklets into China. I had grown up aware of and praying for the persecuted Church, especially in China. When I found out that WMP printed Chinese Scripture booklets that were getting into China, I was thrilled! Later I came and volunteered for a week and was able to see the ministry firsthand.
I served in the pre-press department from 2000 to 2003. I attended a technical college and earned an associate degree to prepare me to be an administrative assistant with computer skills. After serving at a ministry in Singapore, I returned to WMP, where I have been secretary to the president since 2010. I like the fact that my “job” is working towards building the Kingdom. I may be doing general secretarial tasks, but they have an eternal purpose. I love Helen’s chapels
as she shares stories of people coming to know the Lord through the Scripture booklets.

My hobbies include collecting and reading books, listening to and playing classical music, attending concerts, and playing musical instruments. I also enjoy traveling and visiting new places. Now that I’m married (to the kindest, most loving and patient man on earth), I do all things related to keeping house!

Nolan Y., Production Assistant

As a teen, I learned about WMP through my church volunteering and field reps visiting my church. I have worked for printing ministries all my adult life. Upon returning to Goshen, Indiana, from ministry in Canada, I wanted to continue working in missions locally. I’ve been on staff at WMP since May of 2007.

I bundle the booklet insides (signatures) as they come off the web press for future assembly on the binderies. I also share the janitorial duties. I enjoy getting to handle so many pieces of God’s Word, and I am encouraged by accounts of God’s Spirit working worldwide.

Geography and singing are some of my hobbies. I am currently enjoying singing tenor in a local choir and glorifying God that way. I’m also privileged to have a beautiful wife of nearly three years who also works here at WMP.

WMP Partners Around the World

Our Backlog of Urgent Requests

The 80+ volunteer national coordinators and dozens more major distributors, who help orchestrate the distribution of WMP literature within their countries, look to World Missionary Press for a continuing supply of Scripture booklets, Bibles studies, salvation coloring books, and New Testaments. This presents an ongoing challenge to our production team to keep material flowing to every part of the globe.

From the 40 languages we supply for India, to the various languages spoken in the Philippines, to an ever-growing demand for WMP material in Spanish for Central and South America, as well as the numerous unique and diverse languages of Africa – our vision is to keep making Scripture portions available as quickly as possible.

When planning our monthly production budget for this fiscal year (October, 2014 through September, 2015) we took a step of faith – trusting God for the income to support producing an average of 7.5 million per month (equivalency) in-plant, and an additional one million per month equivalency as contract printings (e.g., in countries such as India, Indonesia, etc.). Through the first five months of the fiscal year we are under our projected income budget by nearly $200,000. We are therefore facing the need to decrease our monthly in-plant production target, from 7.5 million to 6.5 million per month, and to restrict further contract printings. We praise the Lord for every dollar given, for every booklet produced. Yet the NEED is for so much more!

Will you please pray earnestly with us for provision from the Lord, to not only meet our income and production budgets, but to increase production to 9 million per month and more!

There is a great sense of urgency communicated by those who send their requests, as they see first-hand the faces of those who are trapped in the bondage of sin, needing a Savior.

The 9 million booklets listed for India in the following table represent the needs of just one ministry. The message was, “The need is huge. I am not sure when and how you will be able to supply us with this enormous amount of gospel literature. We shall be praying for God’s provision. We are grateful to the Lord for WMP and its strategic partnership with us and with other ministries in India. Things are becoming harder for our missionaries. Persecutions have increased.”

As an answer to prayer, a new opportunity opened to provide material in Botswana:  “I am glad to receive an email from you. How refreshed I am that this process is now beginning. Thank you in advance for all the effort you and your team will put in, making sure that we receive this much-needed literature. That is a gesture that will go a long way in changing the Christian landscape here in Botswana. Botswana definitely needs the literature like yesterday.”

 An additional $45,000 per month above budget would allow us to increase production from 7.5 million to 9 million per month. We believe God has prepared the facilities, the equipment, and the staff to consistently produce 9 million or more per month, to better meet the many needs on hand. Workers abroad are waiting to receive the seed. Will you join us in stepping up to answer these urgent calls for Scripture materials?
