1st Theme- General Information
The Church of the Nazarene is working in 156 world areas – representing hundreds of languages and dialects.  With this great diversity comes the responsibility to provide holiness literature in as many languages as possible.

It is the mission of Global Nazarene Publications to coordinate the production of literature in the Wesleyan-Holiness tradition for the entire non-English Church of the Nazarene.

2nd Theme
Holiness literature is the foundational building block in the growth of the church, and is critical in our efforts to preserve and promote the doctrine of holiness.  The Lord is blessing the Church of the Nazarene with incredible growth among multiple language groups, and our task is to disciple these new believers through holiness literature.

Literature is a key element in evangelism and follow-up with new believers, as well as providing materials for spiritual growth and discipleship.  For the church to continue to thrive and grow, we must have books for training our pastors, members, youth and children.  

Global Nazarene Publications works with the multiple literature committees to facilitate the critical publishing needs and priorities of the various languages.  Manuscripts are written or translated, reviewed by editing committees, designed and formatted, and sent to printing facilities around the world for the quickest and most economical delivery of the final product to the growing global church.

3rd Theme – Bible Study Maps
A Study Map is a chart of pictures arranged in an order that helps the learner rapidly understand and remember new concepts, as well as how these concepts relate to each other.

The Study Maps can be utilized by every language, people, and age group, since neither facilitator nor learner needs to read or write to use the Map.  The only material required is the Study Map image.

The 16 Articles of Faith have already been produced and widely used.  The Gospel of Mark, Gospel of Matthew, and Romans are currently in production, soon to be followed by The 10 Commandments.  The goal is to eventually produce all 66 books of the Bible in multiple languages in this easy-to-learn format.

4th Theme – Get Involved
Your faithful giving to the World Evangelism Fund makes the literature ministry possible.  The following are a few examples of what your contributions to WEF have accomplished:

•  Provided Wesleyan-Arminian theology textbooks for pastors in Russia

•  Provided VBS materials to children in Korea, Russia, and Armenia

•  Provided materials to help mentor and disciple French-speaking teens on three continents

•  Helped children learn about God’s love while learning to read English

•  Provided the new text Discovering the Old Testament for Korean and Albanian Nazarenes

•  Published Core Values: Christian, Holiness, Missional in 37 languages

Yearly requests for funding for literature projects total well over $1 million and exceed available resources.   Special projects, such as the Bible Study Maps, are realized only as additional funding sources are identified and become available.

The Global Nazarene Publication Fund is an exciting way in which you or your church can help underwrite the development of literature urgently needed by Nazarenes in over 90 languages.
