Gospel Literature International (GLINT) is a non-profit organization founded in 1961 by Dr. Henrietta Mears. This noted Christian educator established GLINT to meet the growing publishing demands for Christian curriculum and books in non-English languages.

GLINT's president, Dr. Georgalyn Wilkinson, has faithfully served since 1986. Under her leadership, GLINT's ministry has grown to promote and manage the non-English language book rights for City Bible Publishing, Growing Families International, Howard Publishing, Multnomah Publishers, and Wagner Publications. 

GLINT itself is not a publisher, but instead serves as a ministry of helps, providing quality international publishers with biblically sound English language books, and then assisting them to successfully publish these materials in dozens of languages around the world.

 For the originating English language publishers GLINT offers essential publishing services including: research and identification of quality international publishers, promotion of products to international publishers, contract negotiations, monitoring of project progress, complete publishing information service management, and royalty management.

With nearly 40 years of experience working with international publishers, GLINT now works with over 300 international publishers. These publishers produce quality publications using competent translators and dependably meet their production schedules.

Sunday School

One of GLINT's major priorities is providing for the publishing and distribution of both English language and indigenous curriculum for children and adults. Where possible, teacher training is also provided in the overall arena of leadership training.

GLINT's Vision and Guiding Principles

During the last decade, worldwide changes in political and spiritual realities have revealed deep spiritual hunger in countries where the Gospel was once banished. As the demand for quality Christian books expands worldwide, GLINT is broadening its international representation to include more books than ever before from an increasing number of English language publishers.

GLINT has worked in over 70 nations around the world, helping to publish Christian books and Sunday School materials in 56 languages. In the past year alone, GLINT assisted with the publishing of 159 first editions (the first time a specific title is published in a particular language), for a combined total of over 1,100 books.

GLINT Projects

The demand for materials in non-English languages continues to accelerate. In many parts of the world, basic books and curriculum that teach Christian truths and values are simply not available. The lack of adequate staff training or financial resources can hinder vital and strategic publishing projects. In these cases, GLINT provides training and consultation to meet the diverse needs of national publishers: printing and distribution solutions, computer and data management, and administration expertise.

In many countries, there simply is no adequate training available to instruct teachers how to implement systematic children’s curriculum. To meet this need, GLINT helps to sponsor and provide staff for intensive, custom designed on-site training seminars. Recently GLINT conducted training sessions for Filipino and Iranian Sunday School teachers. The latter, due to political sensitivity, was conducted in a nearby Middle Eastern country. Our teacher training in Mongolia was incredibly well accepted by new youthful Christians there.

Some important projects are beyond the financial means of indigenous local publishers. In these cases, GLINT carefully considers partnering with a local publisher to help raise the necessary financial resources for the most urgently needed projects. GLINT has helped to fund book and curriculum projects in such nations as Belarus, Croatia, Lebanon, Nepal, Myanmar, Russia, Poland, Hungary, Egypt, and China, among many others.
