Today, co-operation with a wide variety of different organizations is necessary for an effective literature ministry in the Middle East. The different media ministries, print, radio, television and video, also work together as a partnership. For instance, radio uses literature to send to listeners who write in asking for help. A Middle East worker in Christian Radio put it this way, 'Literature plays a very important role in our radio ministry. Going round the bookshops of the Middle East, most of the literature about Christianity is written by Muslims, which is not of a lot of benefit.
Listener response is vital in radio and television ministry.
Traditionally the mail has been the connecting link, but is subject to delays and the perils of censorship. Today, response by phone, fax or email is bringing enquirers into direct touch with Christians who can help them. Partnership between agencies, the linking of different media, and the use of modern communications are all part of God's plan to reach the world with the message of salvation.
