People yearn for words of hope in times of war, political turmoil and economic instability. Even where the Church is booming, too often a lack of homegrown literature hinders its strength and maturity. In many countries less than 5 percent of Christian books available are penned by local authors. Hungry readers search in vain for material that speaks to their hearts, minds and daily needs. To combat this famine, MAI equips men and women to create life-changing books and articles in their heart language. You can help us feed the minds and souls of believers around the world.

The power of the written word to transform lives and nourish believers shines in the world’s difficult places. The potential impact is huge where readers are most hungry for hope and encouragement. We invest in people who may struggle with hostile politics, volatile economies and the desolation of war. We focus on countries with few Christians and little publishing activity. Since our founding in 1985, MAI has led 430 training programs in 85 countries on 5 continents with 9,500 people equipped. We have seen budding writers developed, publishing houses grown, periodicals launched and books produced. We celebrate as God strengthens the Church and draws hungry readers to Christ with the written word.
