Literature Ministries

"Scatter them like the leaves of autumn." (Review and Herald, Aug. 13, 1908)

The mission of the Pacific Union Literature Ministries Program is to develop a system for each conference, church, and person so that this dream for truth-filled literature can become a reality. This system will have three points of distribution: literature ministries in the local church, full-time (adult) canvassing programs, and student Magabook programs. Each group will produce Bible studies and evangelistic campaigns leads.
