Grasslands NT | Grasslands
The Grasslands people are descendants of an ancient people who inhabited Meso-America long before the Spanish conquistadors arrived.
Today, the indigenous people of the Grasslands continue to live off the land as they have for centuries. Average income is only about $4.50 to $10 dollars a day, so migration to larger cities is high.
Traditional homes throughout the mountain area are made of wood with either wood or dirt floors and corrugated metal roofs. Historically, since the arrival of the Spanish, most in the Grasslands community have been Catholic. However, over the past 30 years, some evangelical, Protestant churches have sprung up. Today, approximately 42% of the Grasslands population belongs to one of these.
Two neighboring language groups already have translated Scriptures, and since the languages are related, the Grasslands team is working from those to draft the Scriptures into their own language.

Grasslands of Mexico
Good news spreads—just years ago Pastor Alfonso got to hear a sampling of Scriptures in his Grasslands mother tongue on audio tape, and he was astonished. From that point forward, he dedicated himself to translating the entire New Testament as well as Old Testament portions for his people, who today number about 18,000. Several others have since caught the vision and joined the team of translators. - Jan16
