The Southland Baptist Press ministry has been a real blessing to me and the work here at Suzuran Bible Baptist Church. Over the past few years, we have had them help us design a number of church flyers, letter heads, prayer cards and a retractable banner. Not only has their service always been prompt and friendly, but their advice has always been very thoughtful and helpful. All of their design work and the majority of print material supplied has been at no cost to us on the mission field of Japan, and when we had to contribute something, we found their prices extremely competitive. The cost of printing in Japan can be three/four times the quote from Southland Baptist Press.
Their graphic artists have a wonderful way of understanding the image we are trying to convey and transforming that into a design which works. Although we often require many modifications/reiterations to the design, these are always handled patiently, and they invariably produce a product that fits our culture here. I appreciate their servant attitude – each time we work on a design, I get the impression that they won’t be happy until I am 100% happy.
Our ministry is using the printed medium as one of our main contacts with new people. Also, we live in a culture where everything is of the highest quality. We have found that what has been produced at Southland Baptist Press has been helpful in catching the eye of the people we target, and opening up new opportunities for us to reach out with the Gospel.
To top it all off, they even design it all in Japanese (as long as we provide a complete text)!
Thank you for your ministry, Southland Baptist Press!

I would just like to say how much SBP has benefited us personally and the work here in Kitwe. The fact that always leaves me in awe is that even though I know that your budget is tight, you sincerely believe that you are joint heirs with the King of kings, and that whatever the request, if it is for the furtherance of the Gospel, God will provide.
Over the years, SBP seem to have known our need even before we ask. Thank you for our prayer cards. On many occasions, people have mentioned how good they are. Through the prayer cards, many people are praying for us.
Thank you for the tracts that you printed for us. They have been used extensively in the work in Kitwe, with boxes being distributed to churches in Kalalushi, Cingola, Itempi, and Cinsali. Many souls have made a profession after reading the tract; some of whom are in church today and going on for the LORD.
The twenty sets of ‘His Eyes Behold the Nations’ missions flash cards that you gave us were distributed to our people. They now have an appreciation of the need for missions all over the world. We personally still use the cards on a daily basis, praying for the various needs of those countries. Please think again about doing another edition.
Please thank those who have laboured to get it all happening.
Love in Christ, David Kaufmann Missionary to Kitwe, Zambia
Southland Baptist Press printed my tracts and letterbox flyers.
I sent them the information and the dates I needed them by. I knew it was short notice but they treated me as if I was their only customer.
The artwork on the tracts and flyers was very good and professional. They stayed in contact with me throughout the process and were able to give me an exceptional price for their product.
I would recommend them to any church for your printing needs. Pastor Wayne Langford Port Stephens Baptist Church, NSW July 2005
Dear Southland Baptist Press and it's faithful volunteers,
What a wonderful ministry you guys provide!
Recently, our church needed some tracts printed and, up until this time, we were having them printed by a printing company I found in the Yellow Pages. This company that I had used were very expensive and they did not keep to any of their promised time frames when it came to printing, so compared to that, I was very impressed with the service that I received from Southland.
Knowing the money we gave in exchange for the printing was going to help missionaries with tracts was a tremendous blessing. Even though our tracts were printed by volunteers there was absolutely no difference in the quality. In fact, Bro. Sylvester was of much more help to me than the secular printing company we had paid much more money for. Bro. Sylvester was helpful, informative and diligent in his dealing with me, which made my part in the tracts very easy. Thanks.
The tracts that we received from Southland have been used with great results, thanks to our wonderful Saviour, Jesus Christ.
I would and do recommend them as a wonderful alternative if your church needs good KJV, Baptist material.
Thanks Southland,
Pastor Michael Leslie Trinity Baptist Church, Calamvale, Brisbane August 2005
After my experiences with SBP, I highly recommend them to anyone. They were very helpful and accommodating.
Our first 5,000 brochures were designed on a Thursday. Sylvester and I started the design process around 8 or 8:30am and had the finished product ready to go to press by about 12:30pm. He made the process very easy and provided many helpful tips. The turn around time was amazing! We had the brochures in our hands by the following Thursday! We were able to take them to Darwin with us on Friday to start Gateway Baptist Church.
On our second print, we had 10,000 full colour brochures printed. We made a change to the back to include our church’s logo. This order was during a busy time in their ministry. Also, both Bro. Geoff and Sylvester were going to be out of the office for a few weeks. Still, they managed to redesign the back page. After that, they outsourced the printing of the brochures. Even with their busy schedules and the redesign of part of the brochure, we had the finished product in our hands within 14 days! The price we paid was $800 (including shipping) cheaper than using a local printer here in Darwin. Plus, we got the brochures 21 days faster than the printing company here could do!
From these brochures, we have had 50 visitors to our church and 2 families have joined the church! Constantly, people and businesses are asking me where we get our printing done! We have been repeatedly told that Gateway Baptist has the nicest piece of "church" literature that they have ever received!
Again, we highly recommend SBP to any church or pastor! They do a great job from the design right through to the product you receive. If their church brochure can be this effective here in Darwin, they will help any church reach their area with the Gospel!
