Public benefits
Public Benefit: The direct benefits which flow to international missionary organisations and indigenous evangelical Christian denominations from our purposes the goodwill developed as a result of the work carried out therein, the furthering of Christian objectives to spread an evangelical message and witness and the benefit of staff and volunteers
working through international missionary organisations and for the benefit of church ministers, teachers, leaders and indeed congregations of evangelical Christian denominations through access to theological resources which enhance their means for spiritual and educational development. Further benefits include the provision of literature which can be used in schools, universities, hospital visitation and for inmates in prisons. The evidence or proof of these benefits can variously be found by the numerous reports that we receive from missionary organisations, ministers and Christian workers who appreciate our good work, their continued connection with our organisation, its long-term and ongoing use of the facilities and in our annual audited accounts. Indirect benefits do accrue to the public at large, namely the improvements enjoyed in their religious knowledge and education, but this is an incidental outworking of the printing and dissemination of Christian literature. All members of the public are target beneficiaries of the worldwide evangelical church and so this is of broad assistance to it. No harm arises from our purposes. The beneficiary of our organisation is to be divided between the major literature missions with whom we have worked for a considerable time. These missions would be India Bible Literature, Every Home for Christ International, Bibel Mission, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Bible Educational Services, Sowers of the Word Inc., ACTS.
