Four Level Program Structure
GLOW is a four level program training church members to "sell or to give away our literature" RH Nov. 11, 1902. In each level church members are equipped with free literature to keep in their car and close by to hand out when opportunity arises. The literature is received and replenished through the Publishing Ministries Coordinator (PMC) in the local church. The following paragraphs are just an overview of the levels. For more details go to "GLOW Program Explained" download on our downloads page. Please note that the Washington Conference is only participating at this time in Level 1 and 2 of GLOW.
Level 1 Watchmen: Members in this level of participation are equipped with the packets of free literature to distribute. They then distribute it in a planned and intentional way using a pre-written list with ideas for distribution or coming up with new ways of distribution themselves. No doors are knocked in this level.
Level 2 Overcomers: Members in this level join to form a literature distribution team for their local church in which they learn how to effectively go door to door while taking surveys, finding bible study interests, and distributing free literature or flyers to upcoming evangelistic series. This is above and beyond their regular distribution of literature just like the level 1 Watchmen.
Level 3 Ambassadors: In this level members are now trained to sell magabooks door to door with a magabook team composed of local church members. This can be done in pairs or singly. Magabooks and equipment are provided by the local conference Literature Ministries Coordinator. Training is received from the Literature Ministries Director or a qualified local LE in coordination with the PMC. Please note that the Washington Conference is currently only offering levels 1 and 2. If you are interested in selling magabooks, please visit washingtonconference.org/youthrush. Youth Rush is a 10 week student literature evangelist magabook program in the Washington Confrence.
Level 4 Conquerors: In level four members are trained and equipped to sell the Bible Stories, Bible Reference Library, and other hardcover books in an assigned territory. Books and training are received in the same way as level three.
