At LittWorld, we have benefited from rare opportunities to hear the contextually unique challenges Christian publishers face.<\/p>\n

In China, Christian publishers face extreme difficulty getting manuscripts approved by the government for publication. The rejected manuscripts represent great financial loss.\u00a0One publishing house reports that 10 manuscripts were rejected just this year.<\/p>\n

Also, some Chinese Christian leaders believe that Christian literature should be distributed at no cost in accordance with “free grace.”\u00a0Our speaker at LittWorld, however, clarified that “Jesus\u2019 salvation is free grace, but to deliver that grace God\u2019s son paid the price on the cross.” Those who bring God\u2019s message around the word also pay a price in their obedience.<\/p>\n

In one African nation, a government ministry removed the name of the Christian publisher, crediting the government for its publication.\u00a0The publisher eventually accepted the injustice for the sake of spreading the message contained in its literature.<\/p>\n

In a Muslim-majority country, a group of devoted\u00a0individuals forced a Christian publisher to incinerate all the thousands of copies of a recently published book for containing an alleged misquotation of the Koran.<\/p>\n

In a time of near defeat, one of these above-mentioned publishers sensed God telling him<\/p>\n

that although the people were not ready for the Gospel message,\u00a0his work did not involve seeing its reception, but rather preparing the way for a greater acceptance to come.<\/p>\n

Let’s continue to pray for\u00a0our brothers and sisters\u00a0whose ministry prepares the way.<\/p>\n

What challenges do you face particular to your publishing context?<\/em><\/p>\n
