 Paper UnloadingThe Gospel Literature Factory in Belfast has all of the printing equipment for the production of the Literature. Each working day we use an average of 3 Tonnes of Paper.

 | We have 4 printing presses. One of these machines is a Web Printing Press - most of the Gospels of John are printed on this press. We also have a Heidelberg 5 Colour Press for the production of the high quality colour literature such as the Children's Bible Lessons.
We have two other presses for the production of the Scripture Booklets, and our other publications.

 Large RequestsFor some of the larger missions who have very large requests we ship a whole container of Literature - then for others we ship a Container to a country where the whole consignment is divided among many churches and organisations who had requested smaller quantities of Literature. |
 | When the Gospel tracts and booklets are completed we have a dispatch department where many of the smaller requests are packed into parcels and posted all over the world.

 ContainerFrequently we ship 20ft Container loads of Literature to various countries. We can pack approximately 18 Tonnes of Literature into each of these containers. |
 | We have a staff of 27 full and part time workers. Some of our staff are retired people who work as volunteers. There is much work operating all the machines, packing the literature, filling the containers, answering letters from supporters of the ministry.

 The ChallengeThe Challenge that we face is the huge number of requests that we are receiving from all over the world from many churches, missions etc asking us for large supplies of Evangelistic Literature. Often we have to tell these friends that they will have to wait several months before we can fulfil their request and often we can only supply them with a portion of the Gospel Literature that they can use. |
