International (MNN) — World Missionary Press is entering the new year ready to meet fresh challenges under its new president.
Sharing the Gospel does not have to be complicated — especially when you have solid, trustworthy resources in hand.
That is the heartbeat behind World Missionary Press, a ministry that has been producing and distributing Gospel literature for more than six decades. But even a long-standing mission has to adapt as the world changes. New challenges continue to emerge, and they often require a fresh approach.
That is one reason World Missionary Press recently welcomed a new leader, Tyler Bauer. Ministry representative Helen Williams says the organization is expanding, but growth also increases the need for clarity and operational strength.
“We’re growing every year and in what we produce and in the opportunities we have,” Williams explains, “but there needs to be someone watching out — making us more efficient, making us more focused.”

Bauer’s vision includes more than systems and structure. He also emphasizes personal growth among staff as part of strengthening the ministry’s global impact. Williams says he is already preparing the team for what is ahead.
“He believes, if we look at the world, there’s going to be increased, increased, increased request for the literature,” she says, “and he’s trying to prepare us internally for that.”
World Missionary Press prints and ships Scripture booklets and Bible studies in more than 350 languages — resources designed to be simple to use, easy to share, and effective in the hands of believers around the world.
“Use the booklets on their own and see how they work,” Williams encourages. “See how the Spirit uses the booklets. And just one booklet can change a family and a life.”
With global instability on the rise, Gospel workers often need reliable, ready-to-share literature more than ever. Supporters are also playing an increasingly important role in making that possible — helping the ministry stretch resources and remain accountable in every step of distribution.
“We make it go as far as we possibly can,” Williams says, “and we are deeply aware of our accountability for that, because it’s the Lord giving to us through them.”
Pray that Gospel literature will reach more people worldwide, and pray for wisdom for the new leadership at World Missionary Press.
