This CLC World Report offers a picture of what it means to serve together in God’s strength. Across nations, cultures and generations, nearly 600 CLC staff members and volunteers are working side by side to make Christian literature accessible, relevant and rooted in local realities. The stories and reports reflect a global fellowship shaped by a shared purpose.
Serving together takes many forms. In some countries, it means finding new and creative ways to increase the distribution of Bibles and books. Elsewhere, it involves translating resources into new languages, mentoring new authors and strengthening local publishing. Often, it requires quiet perseverance in the face of economic pressure, political uncertainty or limited resources. In every context, it is the faithfulness and commitment of local teams that carry the work forward.
This past year has also highlighted the importance of serving together across borders. Collaboration between CLC countries continues to grow through shared projects, training and mutual support, helping us to think more strategically, steward resources wisely and respond flexibly to challenges.
To our donors and partners, thank you for serving together with us. Your prayers and generosity directly support CLC teams and projects around the world. To our staff, this report reflects your dedication and your willingness to serve as part of a truly committed global family. You inspire me!
It has been a joy to serve as International Director for another year. As you read these pages, may you be encouraged by what God is doing and inspired by what lies ahead in 2026.
