Fourteen years ago, the Bible Society of Mexico embarked on a significant mission: to bring the first study Bible in the heart language of the Ch\u2019ol people. As a result, on April 20, over 5,000 people gathered to celebrate and thank God because his Word would reach thousands of Ch\u2019ol-speaking families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Mexico, there are over 220,000 people who speak the Ch\u2019ol language, mainly in the states of Tabasco, Campeche, and Chiapas. In Chiapas, where the Bible dedication took place, 12.5% of the population speaks Ch\u2019ol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Architect Julio Splinker, General Director of the Bible Society of Mexico, expressed the significance of this milestone: \u201cAfter 14 years of hard translation work, the Ch\u2019ol people have in their hands the first study Bible, enabling young people to engage more deeply with the Scriptures and providing church leadership with tools to present the message of reconciliation more profoundly. All this is for the glory of God and so that no Mexican is lost!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
