[edit] Vision
- Literacy & Evangelism International (LEI) is a missionary fellowship desiring to see the Church in every nation effectively reaching the illiterate, bringing them the Living Word, Jesus Christ, through enabling them to read the written Word of God.
[edit] History
- LEI was founded in 1967 for helping people connect better with their world and with God's Word:

- by teaching English, if they struggle in an English-speaking context
- assisting churches and missions with materials and training for basic literacy or English teaching ministries
- by developing Bible-content teaching materials in multiple languages
- by training tutors, trainers, leaders and missionaries
- providing training, placement and covering for missionaries worldwide.
