(Worthy News)—The Bible Society of Brazil (SBB) announced earlier this month that it celebrated printing 200 million Bibles and New Testaments, Christian Daily reports.

One of the main printers of Bibles in Latin America, the SBB has produced Bibles in 87 languages, including braille and indigenous languages, for export to 122 countries, CD reports. The society had printed 100 million Bibles by 2011 and celebrated the 200 million mark on November 7, 2024. Last year alone, the SBB distributed 152 million copies of the Bible worldwide.
