The Holy Spirit is the active agency of Literature Ministry. Literature Ministry churches provide literature carousels and racks and the volunteers to keep them supplied with literature and to follow up Bible study requests. Literature Ministry site partners authorize literature carousel locations and reimburse Literature Ministries for literature at the publisher’s cost. Together they sow gospel seeds that give rise to spiritual conviction and eternal life with God’s family.

It is the Holy Spirit who prompts people to take literature from carousels as they pass through lobbies or wait for an appointment or service by an outreach ministry. Some will choose to enroll in an It Is Written or VOP Bible study lesson series for follow up by a Bible study lesson instructor or an IIW/VOP Bible correspondence school.

In 2019 the Holy Spirit prompted people coming to Loma Linda health facilities and educational campuses to remove nearly 200,000 pieces of literature and Bible study lesson requests from carousels and racks. This happened without any kind of marketing, advertising, or social media blitzes. We simply displayed literature in carousels and located them where people pass through lobbies, lounges, lecture halls, waiting rooms, health and fitness complexes that serve the community and students.

Loma Linda is unique in that it has a high concentration of university health, medical and dental schools and professional clinics, offices, and community outreach ministries that serve people.
