:::::::Welcome to the North Asia-Pacific Division Web :::::::

Philosophy
The publishing work, developed by James and Ellen White before the Seventh-day Adventist Church had name or organization, was ordained to play a prominent role in giving the everlasting gospel to the world in preparation for the second coming of Jesus. The Publishing Department of the General Conference is committed to this God-given task.

Purpose
The Publishing Department of the General Conference gives leadership to the work of the publishing departments worldwide, Home/Family Health Education Service offices, Adventist Book Centers, literature ministry seminaries, and literature evangelists. It serves as a resource center for development, production and distribution of literature, and the translation for printing of Ellen G White books.

Basic Principles for Operating Publishing Institutions
All denominational publishing houses are both church owned and church operated. The object of their establishment was for the furtherance of the work of the church; and it is therefore imperative that they be operated in harmony with the spiritual purposes, objectives, and principles of the Seventh-day Adventist organization. Boards of management and the employees in these institutions, individually or collectively, are urged to make no attempt to alter or depart from the established principles or fundamental practices of the church in the conduct of its institutional work, except within the framework of approved church procedures.

The denominational publishing houses are dedicated to the purposes and mission of the Church, and only those persons who are willing to support the religious objectives of the Church should be employed. Appropriate credentials or licenses shall be issued to all regular full-time employees in publishing institutions in harmony with the provisions of the General Conference/division working policies.

Literature Evangelism

Each division shall be responsible for developing and maintaining a literature evangelism program within its territory. Adequate leadership shall be provided to direct the program, which shall be a part of overall evangelism within the division.
