OPAL TRUST PUBLISHING

OPAL Trust has its roots within the Christian Brethren Assemblies movement. Significant numbers of our missionaries work in the Majority World where there is a dearth of literature resources available for discipleship and the training of leaders. Additionally there are large numbers of national workers working hard to impact their own people groups. However their effectiveness is often blunted by the
lack of affordable Bibles and other good Christian literature and OPAL Trust Ltd (Overseas Publishing And Literature) was incorporated in August 2003 to help address these needs.

Using our various contacts within the Christian book world to obtain Bibles and suitable material at advantageous prices, the Trust has now sent literature resources to 70 countries worldwide. A
book depot has also been established in Zambia. From feed back received, it is clear that with the help of our God the literature ministry we undertake is both helpful and rewarding.

PHILIPNUNN.COM

Using experience he and Anneke gained among assemblies in Canada, England and Colombia, together with the tools developed while working with the Navigators and the Gideons in London, Philip Nunn’s Bible based, thought provoking and challenging material has been made available in web form since 2006. Widely accessed across four continents, it provides stimulating and encouraging resources which can be downloaded and reproduced easily. Philip’s Article ‘Five reasons why I remain connected to the Brethren Movement‘ is an interesting personal reflection on the Brethren movement by this IBCM participant.
