I. Introduction

• Jesus gave us the mission of going to the entire world and preach the Good News (Mark 16:15).
• We can be sure about the results of this task God gave us when we read Revelation 18:1: All the Earth will be lightened with His glory. Everybody in the future will know about Jesus because He is the Light that can enlighten the world so everyone will know that He is coming soon. John saw this event happening.
• God also showed to E. G. White that one of the ways that He is planning to enlighten the Earth is using literature that has the Present Truth (Testimonies,7, pp. 139-140, 1902).
• To enlighten the Earth with literature, we need to spread it like dry leaves during the fall.
• Publishing Ministry Mission: “The publishing ministry of the Seventh-day Adventist Church exists to proclaim through the media (literature) the gospel of hope to the whole world in this generation.”

II. How to Spread Our Literature Like Dry Leaves and Light the Earth

By the orientation that we find in the EGW’s writings, God advices us to use three different ways:

• By the Literature Evangelists (LEs)
• By students during vacation time
• By all members of our church

III. How to Use Each One of These Three Ways to Have a More Efficient Evangelistic Result

1. Regular Literature Evangelist program:

• Using ours LEs to spread as much as possible literature invery place.
• Sending LEs to places where there is no Adventist presence yet.
• Sending groups of LEs to work in places where the church is planning to have Evangelist Crusades.
• Each LE spreading the Missionary Book of the Year.
• Each publishing director conducting an Evangelist Crusade during the year together with a good team of LEs. • Each LE delivering to the local pastor lists of names of people that want to have Bible studies.
• Each group of LEs creating a group of believers during the quinquennium.
• Each LE wining at least one soul during the year.
• To offer monthly, to each LE, missionary literature that he can distribute free; like missionary newspapers, booklets, pamphlets, tracts, leaflets, brochures, fliers, etc.

2. Student LE Program

• Sending group of students to larges cities.
• Each Sabbath ask the students LEs that are distributing our books to share with the church good reports about what happened during the week.
• To have with each team of students a good Bible worker that can work immediately with those that want to receive Bible studies.
• To train the students to sell missionary literature like the Missionary Book of the Year.
• To have in each team of students missionary literature to distribute free; like booklets and tracts.

3. Church Members

“Let the leaflets and tracts, the papers and books, go in every direction. Carry with you, wherever you go, a package of select tracts, which you can hand out as you have opportunity. Sell what you can, and lend or give them away as the case may seem to require. Important results will follow” (Review and Herald, June 10, 1880. {ChS 151.1}).

Suggestions:

• To stimulate each member to have always a pack of missionary literature he/she can sell, lend, or give free.
• To have in each church a missionary library where people can borrow books to read.
• To make sure each person that visits our church receives free literature.
• To have in each church a special ceremony of dedication each time we have a new Missionary Book of the Year. Example: To build a pyramid of books and invite others to come around and pray for those books.
• To have open house days where the brethren can buy books for special price.

IV. Publishing Houses Responsibilities

• To have a new Missionary Book each year printed in a large quantity so the price can be very low.
• To have open house day in each Conference every year where the brethren can buy many books for missionary activities.
• To have missionary tracts or booklets available to different kinds of public for mass distribution.
