Partners in Publishing
GPA is strategically positioned as a sister organization to the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association to provide valuable training, resources and connections to Christian leaders in developing countries with a heart for spreading the gospel message to their own people through the publishing and distribution of Christian materials.
Global Publishers Alliance (formerly Evangelical Christian Publishers Outreach) was formed as a 501(c)3 not-for-profit corporation in February, 1994. The driving motivation behind this action was four-fold:
Missionary vision
To demonstrate to the world that as Christian publishers we have a missionary vision and heart for people who have not heard the gospel.
Providing assistance
To focus on parts of the world where we are needed and where it is likely that without our help, the tasks may be insurmountable.
Challenge our membership
To provide a compelling missions challenge to the ECPA membership while at the same time moving forward prudently within the limits of our organizational resources.
Funding vehicle
To create a vehicle for the receipt of gifts from both ECPA members and external funding agencies to support the missionary activities of ECPA.
