Literature & Teaching Ministries

History of LTM
Literature And Teaching Ministries (LATM) is an outgrowth of the ministry of College Press Publishing Company of Joplin, Missouri. Don DeWelt, a beloved teacher and evangelist, founded College Press in 1959 to supply a need for true-to-the-Scriptures Bible study textbooks.

But God's world is bigger than this country. Don DeWelt traveled to many mission fields during his lifetime, and felt a burden to help the missionaries and national church leaders in those place to have books in their languages, too. From time to time, missionaries would request permission of College Press to translate and print a book. This would always be granted with no charge or royalty fee. But for every missionary who had taken it upon himself to translate and print books, there were ten more who wanted to, but because of financial and time constraints, simply could not.

As time passed, Don's son Chris, who had served eight years as a missionary in Chile came to share this burden to see quality materials printed in other languages. Together they envisioned a non-profit organization that would help fund and print quality Christian books, like College Press, but in the various languages spoken in the countries where we have missionaries and national churches. In August, 1992, just a year after Don passed away, Literature And Teaching Ministries was established for this purpose. From then, through January 2010, LATM has helped publish 510 projects in 54 different languages for a total of over 1,200,000 books printed.

In the name of Jesus, we minister to thousands in our churches, schools and medical facilities.

Over the years they expanded to include many ministries and programs all in the name of Christ. The impact of HCM reaches far beyond the city of Port-au-Prince out into the countryside surrounding the capital city.

Mission

Sharing the gospel and showing Christ’s love for all people remains our focus at HCM as we provide Haitian people with education, medical care, food, employment or child sponsorship. God has empowered us to accomplish a marvelous work over the years.

Northlakes Christian Church

Northlakes Christian Church is a Christian congregation based in Australia. The Branham family, long-time friends of CCA, moved from Fairbanks, Alaska to Australia, and have helped in the formation of this church.

 

From Northlakes Website...

"Loving God, loving people. Is it really that simple? We think it is. Let's face it, we as humans have a tendancy to make things more complicated than they were intended to be. We think that's true of church and religion, too. When Jesus was asked about how to please God, He said that everything that matters falls into two, simple categories: Loving God and loving people. That's it. That's simple. At Northlakes Christian Church, we intend to keep it that simple, too. What we desire to do more than anything else is what Jesus asked us to do..."
