| Replica Train Stations in Brazil Museum Trace Bible’s History |
|
Source: Council for World Mission News Three replica train stations have been erected at the Museum of the Bible in Barueri, Brazil, as part of an exhibition to trace the history of the Bible in the country.
In recent years the Bible Society of Brazil, which inaugurated the museum in 2003, has distributed 6 million Bibles, New Testaments and Scripture portions throughout the largest country in South America. The three train stations that make up the “Paths of the Bible in Brazil” exhibition are intended to draw attention to the beginnings of Bible work in Brazil, the distribution of the Scriptures and their influence, organizers said. The platforms of the stations show the historical sequence of the presence of the Bible in Brazil from 1808 to the present. The museum -- the first of its kind in Brazil and one of the largest of its type in the world -- features a collection of Bibles and Scripture portions in more than 1,000 languages. * HCJB Global Voice broadcasts the gospel in Portuguese to Brazil via shortwave from Quito, Ecuador, and maintains a world office and radio studios in Curitiba. Portuguese programs, which have been on the air continuously since 1947, generate more listener letters than any language service at Radio Station HCJB in Ecuador. The ministry’s Portuguese programs also air on local radio stations across Brazil. |
