Our reach
Where our books have already arrived
Our missionary books have reached the 10/40 Window and the communities of its peoples around the world. Orange countries are places they have already arrived; the dark ones are still waiting.
We keep praying to reach every country of the 10/40 Window, with books in their own languages.

How it works
From a gift to a reader's hands
Every donation becomes a printed book, sent to a volunteer who lives in or visits those countries and handed over in the reader's own language.
Your gift makes possible the purchase and free shipping of the books
Donations from supporters around the world cover the printing and shipping of every book. You can give directly to SAFELIZ, or through Outpost Centers International (OCI), which issues a tax-deductible receipt in the United States.
Printed at SAFELIZ
The purchase and shipping of the books are coordinated through the publishing house, Editorial SAFELIZ. When a language is missing, the ministry requests the printing of the books in new languages.
Into the hands of missionaries
The books are sent to volunteers and volunteer groups in the countries of the 10/40 Window, such as Egypt, India, Nepal and Thailand, and to places in Europe where many people from the Window live.
One person, one book, one language
Volunteers hand the books out in public places, like squares and markets, in each person’s own language. The main titles are Steps to Christ and The Great Controversy, now in 30 languages.
