CAROL STREAM, IL – Tyndale is celebrating the remarkable impact and expanding reach of the Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV) throughout Latin America. In recent years, the NTV has become one of the region’s most widely used and appreciated Bible translations. Momentum for the Nueva Traducción Viviente accelerated over the past year, with international sales increasing 72% in the last 12 months, demonstrating growing demand and expanding reach across Spanish-speaking markets. It has reached millions of readers with a clear, faithful, and accessible rendering of Scripture.
This growth has been fueled in part by the success of editions such as Biblia Inspira (Inspire Bible), Filament-enabled Bibles, and the Biblia de estudio del diario vivir (Life Application Study Bible), which provide readers with innovative tools and resources for deeper engagement with Scripture. Beyond strong sales, church leaders across Latin America point to the NTV’s role in helping a new generation connect with God’s Word through language that is both accessible and faithful to the biblical text.
“The NTV Bible has revolutionized our work with young people. Through its modern and clear language, we ensure that the Word is not only heard but understood—and it is in that understanding where true transformation begins,” said Paolo Lacota, youth pastor of CFA Church in Asunción, Paraguay. “Every time we teach God’s Word, we send a message to the future: we plant seeds in a generation that will reach places we may never see, but that will be touched by the eternal power of God.”
The NTV Bible has also marked a milestone in the evangelical Christian community in Colombia. “Its clear, simple, and approachable language has allowed God’s Word to be understood more easily,” shared David Pabón, Director of CLC Colombia in Bogotá. “The NTV has not only facilitated reading but has also contributed to renewed enthusiasm for the Bible, strengthening faith and Christian formation in new generations.”
More than 30 experts in the Bible, theology, linguistics, and related fields contributed to the translation, carefully crafting a Spanish text that is understandable throughout Latin America while remaining faithful to the original biblical languages.
“We are filled with joy to see how the Nueva Traducción Viviente is transforming lives in Latin America,” said Peter Cerra, Senior Director of International Publishing and Sales. “Our commitment has always been to provide an accurate translation, while also being understandable and pleasant to read for today’s audience. Seeing its impact in so many different contexts is deeply encouraging.”
At the heart of the NTV’s growth is a commitment to helping people understand and engage with God’s Word. “Our desire is that people not only read the Bible but truly understand it and are transformed through their encounter with the Word of God. It is a true privilege to see how God uses the Nueva Traducción Viviente, in partnership with so many churches and faithful believers across the Spanish-speaking world, to touch hearts and draw people to Himself,” said Amy Simpson, Publisher, Bibles, Kids & Spanish.
Tyndale remains committed to serving Spanish-speaking communities around the world by supporting the continued distribution of the NTV and helping readers engage more deeply with Scripture. For more information about the Nueva Traducción Viviente, please visit BibliaNTV.com.
