Phil Casey
Executive Director
Phil grew up in a Christian home in the sleepy town of Correctionville, Iowa. He met his wife Susan at Ozark Bible College, where he graduated in 1974. After serving for a dozen years as missionaries to Chile, the Caseys returned to the U.S. ,where Phil taught Missions at Nebraska Christian College. In 1992 Phil became Executive Director of Literature And Teaching Ministres. Phil communicates with ministry partners of two kinds: those on the giving end of the ministry (churches and individual donors) and those on the receiving end (missionaries and national church leaders). The favorite part of his job is helping provide good, Bible-based books to various missionaries and national church leaders around the world in many languages.

Donor Relations
Susan grew up in Albuquerque. She went to OBC in search of answers to life's questions. She found those, as well as her wonderful husband, Phil. She graduated in 1972. In 1992 she joined Phil to help establish Literature And Teaching Ministries. She is now in charge of Donor Relations. She is the person who calls you and asks if we can come and make a presentation of LATM's work LATM, or give an update to your church, as well as maintaining a close relationship with LATM's donors. Susan also speaks to ladies' groups and retreats all over the United States.

Back in Missouri now, he coordinates LATM's Spanish and Portuguese book projects. About working for LATM, Ralph says, “I never before helped so many people from so many cultures make so many disciples for the Master.”

Now she is a youth teacher at her church in Carl Junction, Missouri and is a typographer of Spanish books for LATM. She also represents the ministry of Literature And Teaching Ministries with her husband at churches, camps, conventions, and vacation Bible schools. Cindy says, “Working with LATM gives me opportunity to help people around the world grow into the image of Christ.”
