Shaping Culture Through the Printed Page

Spreading the Word. Reaching the World.

Publishing has always been at the heart of the CLC mission. Through this ministry, teams around the world are able to shape and influence the reading culture within their nations—placing truth, hope, and biblical teaching into the hands of those who need it most.

Even in a digital age, the printed page remains a powerful tool. Time and again, God continues to use books and Bibles for evangelism, discipleship, and transformation—helping people encounter Jesus and grow in their faith .

A Global Publishing Movement

Today, CLC is actively publishing in over 20 languages, including Korean, English, French, Spanish, Tamil, and Burmese. Across 21 countries, more than 3,200 titles are currently in print—each one contributing to the wider mission of making Christian literature accessible to all nations .

This global reach allows local teams to respond to the specific needs of their communities, ensuring that resources are not only available, but also relevant, contextual, and impactful.

Trusted Voices, Translated for the World

CLC has been privileged to publish and distribute the work of many trusted Christian authors across multiple languages. Writers such as Billy Graham, Josh McDowell, John Stott, Jerry Bridges, Francis Chan, David Platt, and Corrie Ten Boom have helped shape generations of believers through their teaching.

By making these voices accessible in different languages, the publishing ministry plays a vital role in strengthening the global Church—equipping leaders, encouraging believers, and helping new readers engage with the Gospel in a meaningful way.

Alongside this, many CLC teams are investing in children’s publishing—producing Bible resources that introduce Scripture to the next generation in formats they can understand and enjoy.

Reaching the Nations with Scripture

Publishing is not only about books—it is also about access to the Bible itself. Over the years, CLC has led significant projects to print and distribute Scripture in countries where access is limited, including Venezuela, Bolivia, Spain, Belarus, Russia, Mozambique, and Thailand.

One particularly significant milestone has been the printing of the first Study Bible in the Burmese language in Myanmar—opening up deeper biblical understanding for thousands of readers in their own language.

A Ministry for Today and Tomorrow

As the global Church continues to grow, the role of publishing is becoming increasingly important. In many parts of the world, access to trusted Christian resources remains limited, and the need for culturally relevant, biblically grounded literature is greater than ever.

CLC’s publishing ministry exists to meet that need—to serve the Church, support mission, and help people encounter the truth of God’s Word.

This is more than printing books.
It is about shaping lives, strengthening faith, and extending the reach of the Gospel.

This is how we continue to spread the Word and reach the world.
