Dan works as a literary agent with The Steve Laube Agency and as director of the Write to Publish conference. He\u2019s taken part in two LittWorld conferences and a training week in Ghana with MAI Director of Publisher Development Ramon Rocha.<\/p>

\u201cJoining the Board was an easy decision since I have such a high regard for the work of MAI,\u201d Dan says.<\/p>

Working with authors and publishers every day, Dan has observed one common thing: They all learn from rejection or failure. \u201cPublishing is very difficult and subjective, so being patient, courageous and strong is an absolute. God will teach things through the process.\u201d<\/p>

Dan\u2019s book tip:<\/strong> \u201cThe first Christian book I read after accepting Christ in 1974 was Your God is Too Small<\/em> by J.B. Phillips. It made a great impression on me right from the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The first thing Rose says about herself is, \u201cI am a disciple of Jesus Christ.\u201d She has been serving with Biblica Global Bible Ministry (formerly known as the International Bible Society) for over 20 years in marketing, outreach, publishing and partnerships.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWhen I was called to serve on the board, I agreed because I knew I was serving with people who have similar loves\u2014for Jesus Christ and for books,\u201d Rose says.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cMy prayer, dream and desire is for people all over the world to have access to life-transforming content that is biblical and contextual. What gives me most satisfaction is seeing new books, new publishing houses and other publishing initiatives started.\u201d<\/p>

Rose is also Chair of MAI-Africa, established after LittWorld 2012 in Nairobi.<\/p>

Rose\u2019s book tip:<\/strong> \u201cWhat\u2019s so Amazing about Grace<\/em> by Philip Yancey, My Utmost for His Highest<\/em> by Oswald Chambers and God Chasers<\/em> by Tommy Tenney.

Greg has been involved in developing Christian publishing in the French-speaking world since 1990. He serves primarily with Encompass World Partners, Editions Cl\u00e9 and Publications pour la jeunesse africaine (PJA).<\/p>

\u201cIn my interactions with MAI, I have seen an enduring concern for those working in Christian publishing,\u201d Greg says. \u201cI\u2019ve seen a genuine appreciation for the reality that is the global body of Christ in all its cultural expressions. MAI\u2019s efforts provide essential moments of refuge, sharpening of skills and revitalization of vision to those in the Christian publishing world.\u201d<\/p>

As part of MAI\u2019s international Board, Greg hopes to serve and encourage others in Christian publishing. \u201cAs one of the characters in the grand book of Christian publishing, I\u2019m looking forward to seeing how the Author interlaces our collective efforts in His story.\u201d<\/p>

Greg\u2019s book tip: <\/b>Reading and returning to Leading with Love by Alexander Strauch can be like going to see the doctor for a check-up. \u2018Love arteries\u2019 can get clogged and flow insufficiently. Strauch performs a spiritual atherectomy. \u201cOnly love has the power to freely and repeatedly forgive, to truly seek to understand people\u2019s weaknesses and complexities, to put things into proper perspective, and to put a blanket over other people\u2019s faults.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Richard is spending his retirement volunteering with community service agencies and serving at church.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cI was thrilled to be invited to serve on the MAI Board because of its vision for enabling local authors and publishers to produce Christian literature,\u201d Richard says. \u201cThis was the same philosophy that I used in my work.\u201d<\/p>

Before retiring, Richard\u2019s work involved 30 years of leading community health programs at the Marshall University School of Medicine in West Virginia USA, and 15 years of developing international community health programs\u2014including in South America, where current MAI President John Maust visited to write about the growth of the church in the Ecuadorian Andes.<\/p>

Richard\u2019s book tip:<\/strong> \u201cBooks that have influenced my walk with Jesus are from contemplative authors such as Meister Eckhart, Thomas Merton, and Bob Benson.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

He attended LittWorld for the first time in Kenya in 2012 and has since been involved in MAI\u2019s training events.<\/p>

\u201cMAI is a wonderful organization that provides high-quality training for editorial purposes with a Bible-based mission and vision,\u201d Jos\u00e9 Carlos says. Of MAI\u2019s webinar library by trainers around the globe in English, French and Spanish, he says, \u201cThese free sessions are a great resource. I thank God for all the donors who have made MAI\u2019s ministry possible for more than three decades.\u201d<\/p>

Jos\u00e9 Carlos\u2019s book tip:<\/strong> \u201cJim Elliot: One Great Purpose<\/em> by Geoff and Janet Benge inspired me to keep trusting God amid difficult situations and to keep sharing the gospel.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cI love reading books and my own spiritual formation journey has been shaped by many of the books I’ve read,\u201d Ellen says. \u201cI’m grateful to be part of a ministry that serves international publishers, authors, and editors, because work in this area has been such an integral part of my life and career.”<\/p>

Jeffrey\u2019s book tip:<\/strong> \u201cWhile it would be hard for me to pick one book, besides the Bible, that has influenced me most in my faith journey, I can list several favorite authors: Martin Luther, Matthew Henry, C.S.

Debbie works at Tyndale House Ministries\u2014a merge of the world\u2019s largest independent Christian publisher, Tyndale House Publishers, and Tyndale House Foundation, which gives grants to Christian ministries around the globe.<\/p>

\u201cI have witnessed the effective ministry of MAI,\u201d Debbie says, of the reason she joined the Board. \u201cThe written word transforms lives. God the Father chooses to communicate through the written Word; and Jesus Christ is called the Word. The written word has the power to offer hope, change perspective, and alter the trajectory of a life.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI look forward to seeing how God encourages people, develops skills, and impacts the world through MAI participants.\u201d<\/p>

Debbie\u2019s book tip: \u201c<\/strong>George MacDonald is a favorite author who richly portrays the love of the Father. His novels draw readers to the heart of God and the beauty of His love.

\u201cMAI\u2019s work builds and strengthens community by training publishers, writers, and editors to creatively produce content for their own people in their own language,\u201d Anna says. \u201cAll of this content is centered around Jesus.\u201d<\/p>

Anna\u2019s book tip:<\/strong> \u201cDietrich Bonhoeffer\u2019s Life Together<\/em> makes the point that fellowship of Christians is found in the words of Jesus Christ.

Heather became president and CEO of MAI in 2024 after more than 20 years\u2019 experience as an editor, journalist, and organizational communications leader.<\/p>

\u201cMy hope is to see more people around the world trained, equipped, and encouraged to publish God\u2019s truth for people from their own context and beyond,\u201d Heather says. \u201cWhat gets me really excited are ways that MAI could help new audiences gain exposure to new ideas. One of my key callings is building bridges that amplify voices of the marginalized.\u201d<\/p>

Before MAI, Heather served as acting managing editor of Christian Daily International<\/em>, editorial director of the award-winning Evangelical Missions Quarterly<\/em>, founder of le Motif (a communications consultancy firm and ministry), director of a global missions photojournalism team, and as a mission agency communications director.<\/p>

Heather\u2019s book tip:<\/strong> \u201cHistoric fiction from global authors has been key to broadening my understanding and appreciation of other cultures.

\u201cI loved the ways I saw MAI encouraging Christian writers and publishers all over the world,\u201d she says. \u201cAs a writer and editor who grew up in Latin America (moving between Peru, Chile, and Panama), MAI was a natural fit! The invitation to join the Board felt like a way to connect more deeply with the work of MAI, and I was honored to be able to accept.

Janet is founder of Dernier Publishing, which produces novels for children, teens and young adults written from a Christian perspective, and Write For A Reason, a training resource for aspiring writers of stories for young people. \u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWhen I started my journey of faith as a young teen, I devoured Christian books,\u201d Janet says. \u201cHow thrilling to see what the Lord was doing in people’s lives! They opened up a whole new world to me, of what it meant to walk by faith.\u201d<\/p>

Seeing that God\u2019s kingdom is made up of people from every tribe, people nation and language, Janet is keen for others to have \u201cthe privilege of having books in their own language, written by their own people, who understand their culture.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cWhat a great job MAI does in addressing this issue!\u201d she says. \u201cHaving benefited from such wonderful Christian books and other resources in my own walk with the Lord, I’m delighted to be able to pay it forward, and serve as Chair on the MAI-Europe team.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
