“I am excited about our partnership with Mariano Rivera,” expressed Rev. Emilio A. Reyes, vice president, Hispanic/Latino Ministries of American Bible Society. “I know this partnership will have a great impact in reaching New York’s Latino community, many of whom have not yet experienced the life-changing message of the Bible.”

“I believe that the Bible teaches us, that the Bible guides us, it’s the life-giving Word of God,” said Rivera. “We need this guide on a daily basis in order to move forward and that is why I support this campaign.”
