Thinking of Becoming a Literature Evangelist?

The Publishing Department is interested in enlisting you as a part time or full time canvasser in ‘missionary work of the highest order’. You will have the privilege of becoming part of a most sacred work that was directly established and sustained by God, and was critical in pioneering the Advent movement:

“God has ordained the canvassing work as a means of presenting before the people the light contained in our books… This is the very work the Lord would have His people do at this time. All who consecrate themselves to God to work as canvassers are assisting to give the last message of warning to the world. We cannot too highly estimate this work; for were it not for the efforts of the canvasser, many would never hear the warning” (Colporteur Ministry, p. 6)

Philosophy

The Publishing work, developed by James and Ellen White, even before the Seventh-day Adventist Church had a name or organisation, was ordained to play a prominent role in proclaiming the everlasting gospel to the world in preparation for the Second Coming of Jesus.

Vision

To see our books, that bring hope to people, placed into every home.

Mission

As fellow workers with Christ, we exist to inspire and empower men, women, and children to live for Jesus, and under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to use our influence and books to encourage them to have a vibrant and meaningful relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Testimonies From Literature Evangelists

I was born an Adventist, and always wanted to work for the Lord. The Lord then called me to literature evangelism and it was the best decision I could have made. In Sabbath School I learnt about God, but in literature ministry I experienced God.
Jannie Schoeman, Literature Evangelist for over 30 years

For me being a literature evangelist means a divine opportunity to plant God’s love letters in the lives of many people outside of the church’s reach.  It also means getting people ready to meet our Saviour when He comes to fetch us soon.
Shaylin Jansen, Literature Evangelist for over 1 year

Whenever I go out into the field, God  directs me to people who have questions for which I have the right book.  It is fulfilling to work in partnership with God in saving those who are in darkness, and helping them accept the Truth through our inspired literature. It is heart warming to see how my clients make spiritual and lifestyle changes as a result of our books.
