Christianity Today International (CTI) has announced that it will end four publications and lay off 30 employees.

To be shut down over the coming months are Today's Christian Woman magazine, the Campus Life College Guide, the Christian history bulletin insert Glimpses and the Church Office Today bimonthly newsletter.

"Needless to say, we are profoundly saddened by these necessary decisions," said Harold Smith, CTI president and publisher. "The impact on employees who are truly gifted--and the impact on the church as a whole--is a sobering reality for me and the entire CTI team that remains."

These latest cutbacks follow similar moves made in January, when three periodicals--Ignite Your Faith (formerly Campus Life), Marriage Partnership and Today's Christian magazine--either ceased publication or were sold.
"We find ourselves--as does our industry--in the midst of a perfect publishing storm," Smith said. "Nevertheless, we're grateful to God for the continuing strength of our core periodicals--Christianity Today and Leadership Journal."

CTI publishes nine print magazines and newsletters, and its Web site reaches more than 2.5 million unique visitors monthly.
