Up to four million pieces of literature in English, French, German and Ukrainian were distributed annually in 2007. To foster distribution, "Mailbox Clubs" for children helped in the mailing out of tracts, as did local Tract Clubs like the Warman Tract Club. In 1997 the Mission added a special outreach to [[Hutterian Brethren (Hutterische Brüder)|Hutterites]]. The Mission also operates its own Bible Correspondence School with materials from lower grades to adult, and it has an Outreach Ministries Department. Jake and Dora Hoeppner of the EMMC served for many years as outreach evangelists. Because of the significant sales of printed materials, Hoeppner encouraged formation of a separate bookstore in Saskatoon in 1965 called "Harvest House Christian Supplies." This store operated until 1992 when it was closed and its bookselling was taken over by the Mennonite-owned "Fellowship Bookcentre."<br />

In 1943 Western Tract Mission began a monthly newsletter called <em>Western Tract News</em>, in 1995 the newsletter was renamed <em>Reflections</em>. It also published several small books of poetry by the General Conference Mennonite evangelist [[Friesen, Isaac P. (1873-1952)|Isaac P. Friesen]] and hundreds of different tracts and pamphlets, mostly using previously established texts. A few of these publications were written by Mennonites.<br />
