For many churches in Spain, La Biblia de las Américas (LBLA) has long been a trusted translation of God’s Word.
The LBLA uses traditional Castilian Spanish, including the vosotros form still commonly used in Spain. The newer NBLA uses contemporary Latin American Spanish, including ustedes in place of vosotros. As the NBLA became more widely used throughout Latin America, demand for the LBLA declined, eventually making copies increasingly difficult for churches in Spain to obtain.
Berea Seminary has asked for help making a special printing of 5,000 LBLA Bibles possible. With $17,500 still needed to complete the project, we’re trusting the Lord to provide what is needed to make these Bibles available to churches throughout Spain.
Your prayers and gifts can help make this special printing possible and place 5,000 Bibles into the hands of churches throughout Spain. If you would like to help meet this need, you can learn more and give through the link in our bio.

As the Nueva Biblia de las Américas (NBLA), which uses contemporary Latin American Spanish, became more widely used throughout the Spanish-speaking world, demand for the LBLA declined and copies became increasingly difficult to obtain.
When Berea Seminary shared this need with TMAI, our Global Publications team began working with publishers to make a special printing of 5,000 Bibles possible.
Please pray that the Lord would use these Bibles to strengthen pastors, churches, and ministry leaders throughout Spain for years to come. We’re grateful for those who faithfully pray for and support this work.

When you do not serve in the local church, you are robbing yourself of the joy of seeing God use your gifts, talents, and service in the building up of others.
It is not a coincidence that those who serve faithfully are often the most joyful. Joy is the outcome of faithfulness.

Is There Bad News in the Good News?
Presenting the Gospel with Biblical Balance and Person-Specific Care
https://t.co/8uWp7TxeBy
You know what wrecked me when I was converting to Christianity?
Jihad is literally the gospel in reverse. Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it.
The gospel says Christ shed His blood for YOU.
Jihad says you shed your blood for ALLAH.
Jesus lays down His life to save His enemies. Jihad calls you to take the lives of enemies in pursuit of God's favor.
Christianity says the Shepherd dies so the sheep can live. Jihad says the sheep die hoping the Shepherd accepts them.
They are mirrors. One is grace, the other is striving.
One says, "It is finished." The other says, "Do more."
Jesus never asked me to earn God's love with my blood, he proved God's love by shedding His own.
That's why the cross changed everything for me. Jesus didn't come to tell us how to die for God.
He came to die for us so we could truly live. PRAISE GOD! I AM FREE! Now, we need to make all the Muslims Christian.

Newest book by TCBS professor and Board member, Dr. Cliff McManis.
The Biblical Church: What Scripture Says About Christ's Bride
How does a church grow?
Who builds the church?
What is real, honorable church growth anyway?
These questions hound local pastors, motivate church consultants and typically confuse the average church goer. But they are essential questions that deserve a hearing, and they matter. The good news is that Jesus answered those questions 2,000 years ago, and the apostles implemented Jesus' teachings on this topic in the early church. And God has graciously preserved it all for us today in the Bible. As such, Scripture is sufficient for us today. This book will show why.
"I will build my church" (Matt 16:18)

Proclaim: A Comprehensive Guide to Christian Evangelism
Proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ is a wonderful privilege. Many Christians, however, struggle to make this important responsibility a regular part of their lives. Some of us struggle due to fear; some of us sense some inadequacy when faced with objections to the gospel. With this book, editors Derek Brown and Cliff McManis are supplying Christian readers with a bag full of biblical tools to help them overcome these struggles and pursue a life of consistent, faithful, and effective evangelism.
