Costa Rica (MNN) ― Christian Resources International tells the story of a linguist, Luis Diego, from Costa Rica. A few years ago he wrote to CRI and asked for materials, but he couldn't pay the shipping. Diego then offered to do translation work with CRI in return for his books, thus cementing the partnership.
CRI recently sent him some books which he has used to teach and to evangelize. Diego shared the benefit of the knowledge he was gaining with his Sunday School class--just one of the advantages of his relationship with CRI.
In addition, Diego writes, "I have had a chance to share the Gospel for years with my fellow workers in the special bus taking us back and forth from INCAE, the business school I sell translations to." Since the group is not Christian, discussions focus on topics such as history. Books on church history have been very helpful in opening doors for the hope of Christ.
He says the resources have been effective, encouraging, and valuable. That's why CRI exists. CRI's current supply of Bibles is at an all time low -- the most recent Great Crate is packed and on its way, and there's only a few Bibles left on the shelves.
