Title

We recommend the following to the entity that will receive the gift of the print shop:

• Choose a director or manager for the print shop.
• Every worker, especially the leadership, should read the book *Publishing Ministry* by Ellen White. It is an excellent manual to guide the development and functioning of a print shop. Following advice therein will assure success.
• Pray regularly and earnestly for the wisdom that only God can provide.
• Choose a person to manage finances.
• Create a separate bank account. Schedule audits regularly.
• Determine the vision and objectives of the print shop and register them in a document. (See DTM Vision and Objectives document for reference.) Reading *Publishing Ministry* is prerequisite to forming vision and objectives.
• Choose a name for the print shop that will faithfully reflect the vision and objectives.
• Form an editorial committee.
• Form a translation committee.
• DTM provides a basic kit to start the mini print shop. You are free to customize and add to what we have started.
• The director should organize regular training for all the workers, according to the needs.
• During the initial period of evaluation (perhaps the first year), send a monthly report to the director of Desert Tree Ministry. This report should contain a summary of activities including the number of tracts/Bible study sets, booklets printed, and the impressions counter on the printer.

• Designate a Sabbath each month or quarter as literature distribution day. Each member should be encouraged to participate.
• Print tracts that correspond with each subject in an evangelistic series. Each day, after the presentation, distribute the corresponding tract.
• Prepare tracts to distribute during special events in town.
• Encourage each department of the church to plan distribution of tracts.
• Establish an annual literature budget (for free distribution). Perhaps collect funds by church or by district.
• Think of ways members or churches can subscribe to tracts.
• Recommend literature evangelists to always carry and distribute tracts as they work.
• Integrate the publishing ministry in the training of Pathfinders. Each Pathfinder should develop a missionary spirit. Perhaps require one month or more of practical experience, either full time or part-time.
• Encourage small children (at home and at school) to develop the spirit of self-sacrifice. Create an attractive collection box. Children can save 25cfa or 50cfa that they normally would spend on something unnecessary, and invest it in the Lord's work.
• Instore an efficient system of reading our literature (Bible, SOP, tracts) in our schools. Students will become familiar and learn to appreciate it.
