"We do Gospel outreach Saturday and Sunday evenings in Cleveland, Ohio at our downtown public beach. We sing and preach the Gospel and have one-on-one conversations with so many people. We set up a table and offer Scriptures to the people in about a dozen languages. The last couple of years we have had to start ordering so many different languages. I wish you could be here and experience how open people are and hungry for truth. How beautiful it is to see so many different cultures coming to take God's Word home with them. Praise the Lord Jesus! Thank you so much for what you do, and may God bless you all richly as we work together to glorify Jesus by giving out His eternal all-powerful, life-changing Word." -Christian A., U.S.A.

The USA is home to a large number of refugees, immigrants, people groups, and languages. Whether the language is Arabic, Farsi, Hindi, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Soomali, or Italian, the Word of God is the same. “I come from a Telugu-speaking place,” Prem V., in Indiana, pleads. “I need to share the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ with my mom and other family members who don’t read or speak English.”
Approximately 20% of the weekly shipments within the USA include languages other than Spanish and English. Misse E. of Florida tells us, “My elderly mother’s caregivers speak Kreyol. I’m giving these Kreyol booklets to them and they are eager to give them to their friends.”
“I went to an office in my hometown when I was 15 and picked up The Way to God booklet off a stack on a table. I didn’t read it through, but I always kept it safe in my room. I became born again in December 2020 and now have a strong desire to share the good news with everyone. I recently found The Way to God booklet and realized I had the Way to God made known all along. I wish I had read it sooner. I realized that the good news will never change. Now that I understand the power of these words and have the heart of Christ, I desire to share this good news. I want to hand out these booklets when I evangelize and give them to customers at my workplace!”
–Star P., Texas "I have been distributing booklets since I first came to Christ in 1977. Your booklet Help from Above was one I used regularly. What sets your organization apart from other booklet publishers is the wide variety of language options available. I live in Boston, which is a very diverse city. Not being able to communicate the gospel because of language barriers is very painful and frustrating. With your booklet variety, I can always leave someone with a message in his or her own language. It is so gratifying. I work with several other street-preaching ministries and evangelists to broadcast the word of God through public proclamation and literature distribution." -Michael P. The diversity of peoples and languages in the USA and Canada pose challenges to sharing the truth of God’s Word to those who may not know the name of Jesus or who He is. Those challenges are being met as believers recognize opportunities and look to WMP for Scripture-based literature. Along the southern US border, in cities with large ethnic concentrations, among the homeless, the imprisoned, the needy, God’s Word is bringing comfort and hope. During days of isolation from school and work, WMP Bible studies draw families together around God’s Word. One man with a unique burden for the American Indian population in the northern U.S. gathers items for their physical needs as well as WMP Scripture booklets for young and old. Working with local churches, he brings the love of God to those who often seem unnoticed, showing them through His Word how much He loves each person individually. Wherever one may live, God sees and knows the heart. His Word is for all. His love reaches to the farthest corner of the earth. Topical Scripture booklets are a ready tool for anyone to share the story of Jesus and His love. Millions still wait to know this love. World Missionary Press is committed to providing words of hope and peace as open eyes and hearts go through a small Scripture booklet. The majority of WMP booklets are sent overseas, however we still supply hundreds of individuals and churches in the USA and Canada with literature to reach their families and communities. Chaplains rely on the free material for the thousands who pass through their facilities. Church outreach ministries, Bible studies, and various other activities include Scripture booklets as a lasting voice in homes and hearts. Ethnic groups are reached with booklets in their heart language. Elderly people who are no longer as active still request booklets, sometimes just in small quantities, to share with family or those they meet.
“I have been traveling over the United States as an inner-city missionary and pastor. I wanted to reassure you that what you are doing is incredible. I am a strong believer in using your booklets. I’ve been passing them out and getting the community and households involved. Even the kids love doing it! Thank you for providing these Scripture booklets throughout the past years. Keep on going. God definitely blesses this program. Thank you for being there to provide Scripture booklets so I can put the gospel in someone’s hand. You are making a difference.” —M.E., USA |
