| "A
Grain of Wheat" Ministries is looking for book distributors in all
parts of the world, but especially in areas where Christian literature
is hard to get and/or expensive. We are specifically looking for those
who have dedicated their lives to serving others in Jesus' name and who
have contact with many believers who might be hungry for more of God.
It is important that distributor applicants should have read and
understood the message contained in these books and agree with the
contents. We will be making our books available to these
qualified individuals free of charge. The distributors can give our
books away or sell them for a low price, as they feel is right before
the Lord. “A Grain of Wheat” ministries is not a large, “important” ministry. We are just a family of four trying to serve others in the name of Jesus. From time to time we get help from a few friends with packaging and sending off books. We are self-supporting. This means that we work in the secular world to earn money to pay our bills and to be able to print and send out these books and pamphlets, without cost. While we occasionally receive donations, we do not seek them. We say this to help those who ask for books to understand our situation and, consequently, our criteria for sending books. Our object is to minister to the body of Christ – specifically to help people who already have been believers for some time, to grow to maturity. Due to our limited time and resources, we try fill the requests for books with some wisdom and discernment. We want to send books to those who are genuinely seeking God and who will actually read them. If we feel that someone is simply trying to get a lot of books to give out to anybody and everybody because they are free, we do not send the quantities they request. As an example, there are many who ask for books to use for evangelism. Although we know that evangelism is important and we sometimes get reports of people coming to know the Lord through reading our books, this is not our focus for several reasons. Firstly, we do not have the resources to provide books in large quantities as if they were gospel tracts. The fact that they are free may lead some to suppose that there is an unlimited supply. The truth is the cost of printing and mailing books is so high that we cannot simply send out hundreds or even thousands of books for distribution to unbelievers with the hope that a few of them will read them and come to Christ. Secondly, God has directed us to minister principally to His people, His church. We are trying to obey Him in this, using our resources as best we can to fulfill what He has told us to do. With all this in mind, we would like to ask those who ask for books to use them prayerfully and carefully. Please put them into the hands of those who are truly hungry and seeking for more of the Lord. Our intention is not to saturate the world with our books. Instead, we want God to direct the use of these books, getting them to the right people at the right time. We hope and pray that all of them will be read and that God will use them to bring forth fruit in the lives of others. |
