Literature Mission – CCM Canada

– you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. –

The Lord said to Moses, "… and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets…" (Exodus 34:1)

At the defining moment in history, God Himself inscribed the Ten Commandments upon stone tablets. From the very beginning, writing and the written word have been cherished by God as vessels that preserve and bear witness to His truth and His heart.

What is 「Literature Mission」？

Literature Mission uses the written word as a medium to help people discover the Gospel and experience its transforming power. Samuel Marinus Zwemer (1867–1952) was an American missionary who devoted his life to sharing the Gospel with Muslims. Known as the "Apostle to Islam," he wrote in his book The Cross Above the Crescent (1941): ：

OUR VISION

In the days of Jesus, He used clay to restore sight to a blind man. Today, the vision of CCM's Literature Mission is to become that very clay in God's hands — helping people open the eyes of their hearts through reading, so they may see themselves, see God, and discover what they have yet to see. Through the power of the written word, we invite readers on a journey of imagination — travelling across time and space, exploring the lands of the Bible, and discovering the stories and wisdom of different cultures, both past and present. Along the way, we hope to broaden their spiritual horizons and inspire a deeper encounter with God. In a world accustomed to rushing through life and glancing at everything in passing, we believe reading invites us to slow down, see more deeply, imagine freely, and allow meaningful truths to take root in our lives.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT

Literary ministry is not always easy. At times, it can even feel lonely, especially when people around us say, "No one reads books anymore." Yet dreams are worth pursuing, and some convictions are worth holding firmly. We continue to believe that the written word is a powerful instrument in God's hands, with a unique beauty and influence that no other medium can fully replace. And with you walking alongside us, we no longer have to journey alone. We invite you to remember our ministry in your prayers and prayerfully consider supporting us in the following ways:

Financial Support

With rising printing and mailing costs, our Literature Mission recorded an operating deficit of approximately CAD $90,000 in 2024. As of August 2025, the deficit stood at CAD $84,000. In fact, it costs approximately $3 to print and mail one copy of Chinese Today. By giving just the equivalent of a cup of coffee each month — approximately $35 a year — you can help ensure that one reader continues to receive Chinese Today throughout the year.
