Over half-million Scriptures placed in Monterrey

The Bible League held closing ceremonies recently in Monterrey, Mexico, to mark the end—and celebrate the
success of "a huge Bible placement campaign in Monterrey.”

This two-year Scripture placement project was designed to further develop the Bible League's ministry in Monterrey in 2002. Original goals were to place 500,000 specially designed and
easy-to-read Spanish New Testaments in this city of five million. But the final totals exceeded that goal by several thousand.

Only the beginning
“The official end of the Monterrey project is only the beginning,” said Bible League's director of Latin America. “The discipleship process in Latin America often takes about two years, so results will continue to increase as people continue to participate in Bible studies.”

Through evangelistic and discipleship Bible studies, the Bible League works with local churches to strategically place Scriptures with those who attend small-group. This way, the Scriptures are used to deepen the faith of Christians, and help non-Christians become believers. In Monterrey, there were more than 151,000 Bible study groups between 2002 and 2004
