CLC

Reaching The World With Christian Resources

About Us

CLC (Christian Literature Crusade) is a missionary organisation made up of individuals from many denominations. We are bound together by a common purpose: we desire to see people come to faith and maturity in the Lord Jesus Christ and we believe that Christian evangelical literature can be an essential part in this process.  

How do people join CLC?
Whether they serve as a volunteer, a short-term missionary or a long-term missionary, we believe that they will receive a call or direction from God, a sense that God would want them to serve Him in this way. Psalm 32:23 says, “The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of their lives.” Psalm 32:8 “The Lord says, ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.’”  We encourage people to seek the Lord for His answer when thinking of CLC.

We trust God to supply all of our financial needs, and not only that, we trust Him to supply all of our missionaries and volunteers, our shop locations, our customers, the material we sell – we are wholly dependent on Him. The original founders of CLC, Ken and Bessie Adams, felt that salaries should not be paid; rather members of CLC should make their needs known only to God. Here in the UK, things have changed somewhat since the early days. Each missionary is still dependent on God’s provision for their needs and CLC UK still does not pay salaries, but some help with housing is offered to long-term and short-term members.
