Two matching workers in the Amity Bible printing press... This company, the largest in the world to print Bibles, has printed more than 100 million since 1987 and has been exporting Bibles to over 70 countries and regions.
It took 20 years for the first 50 million; and in the last five years, there were 50 million Bibles printed here. Incredible?!
Of these, 60 million were in Chinese language and are distributed throughout the country, while another 40 million are in 116 languages, which are scattered over 70 countries and regions.
We, at the Claretian Publications, have been been printing with Amity in the last 15 years and have printed several million copies by this time. We have printed Bibles in 12 languages. Around 200 guests met for this celebration. We have so much friendship with them that Fr. Alberto was invited to share with the visitors, his work experience.
Divine , who works with us in Macao, with one of our friends of Amity
You see it is a very special relationship. Although the press is about 2000 kilometers from Macao, our communication is continuous over the Internet ... It's like having an office with them, available to assist us at all times, morning, noon and night. Though 60 million Bibles have been distributed in China in the past 25 years, the restrictions remain. Distribution is permitted only from the parishes or places of worship authorized. The public sale of the Bible is not allowed in libraries. It's time to wait and hope, also for the Word of God.
