Years ago, Norma Laing felt called to launch The Hourglass Magazine International, a publication with a heart for reaching marginalized communities in the church. But after producing just one issue, she realized the challenges were greater than she had anticipated. Without the right skills, guidance, or support, she didn’t know where to begin—and her vision had to be paused.

That all changed when Norma attended a Magazine Training International conference in Ghana. There, she received practical, Christ-centered training in every aspect of magazine publishing. From design and editing to distribution and ministry strategy, Norma gained the tools—and the confidence—she needed to step back into her calling. She now feels prepared to relaunch her magazine, equipping it to bring hope, encouragement, and truth to communities that have often been overlooked.

Norma’s story is just one example of the impact that MTI training can have for Christian publishers in less-resourced countries. Across the world, there are leaders with vision and passion, but without access to training and resources, their potential is limited.

Your gift today can change that. By supporting MTI, you help leaders like Norma gain the skills, mentorship, and confidence to create publications that transform lives with Christ’s message. You become a partner in the Gospel, helping publishers overcome barriers and reach readers with hope and truth.

Together, we can lift up Christian publishers, equip them for ministry, and see the Good News spread farther than ever before.
