This in trivia but really not so trivial. The Director of Publications shared this with us last week:
*9.3 million - the number of Mexican immigrants living in the US (legal and illegal).
*6 million - the number of speakers of an indigenous language (sometimes called "heart language") living in Mexico.
*500,000 - the number of speakers of an indigenous language (from Mexico) living in the US.
The last number is the important one. One half million people in the US speak and hear (maybe read) a language which has had, is being worked on, or needs to have the New Testament translated into their language. It is not only people IN Mexico for which the New Testament needs to be put online, but also people IN the United States.
*295 - the number of indigenous languages in Mexico.
*115 - the number of indigenous languages in Mexico which have the NT translated into that language.
Have a nice day.
