GLINT's Founder, Dr. Henrietta Mears
|
"Learning is more than the ability to repeat the ideas or
writings of another. The purpose of the teacher is to 'draw out' not
to 'cram in.' We must create an interest in the heart and mind that
will make the learner reach out and take hold upon the things that he
is taught."

 Henrietta Mears founded GLINT in 1961. An eminent Christian leader and
trendsetter of her day, Dr. Mears spent her life helping people of all
ages to read, study and understand the Bible for themselves. Dr. Mears
traveled widely and personally observed the urgent need for quality
Christian education resources for all peoples of the world. Soon a flood of requests
for publication rights and financial aid was pouring in from around the
world. In response to that overwhelming cry for help, Dr. Mears' launched
GLINT, her last major achievement before her death in 1963.
Now, many years since its founding, GLINT continues to fulfill Dr.
Mears' vision to provide contextualized Bible teaching and learning
curriculum to the nations of the world.
 To
learn more about Dr. Mears' ministry and writings, be sure to read her
biography, Dream Big: The Story of Henrietta Mears, or
her classic Bible study study guide, What the Bible Is All About. There is also a chapter on Dr. Mears
in Tyndale House's book, People Who Shaped the Church.
