Latin American Spanish
Impact 50 million people with Scripture
The church is on the move in Spanish-speaking nations. Partner with church networks across Latin America who want and need Scripture in their heart languages.
Church networks across many Spanish-speaking nations are raising up a new generation of fully-equipped and trained Bible translation leaders.
Project Overview
This project equips and trains church networks in Spanish-speaking Latin America. Leaders and translators train people in their networks to then train others with a complete suite of open-licensed Bible translation content, tools and training materials. Leaders and translators in 500-plus indigenous people groups in Latin America will then be able to translate the Bible accurately for themselves.
