When it comes to sharing the Word of God with people who cannot read, the audio Bible has become a tool that many rely upon. With over half the worlds population illiterate, this is a serious concern when it comes to spreading the Good News held in Gods Word. As the audio Bible CD and mp3 formats have become widely availabale, transporting the Bible into neglected parts of the world has become much easier logistically. Combined with the translations of the audio Bible into many languages, the audio Bible is now the method of choice to carry Gods word to other cultures. The Spanish audio Bible is one version which has become very popular. Spanish is a predominant language spoken in Central America. Central America includes the countries of Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panama. It is important to know the major religious denominations within Central America in order to know where best to apply missionary focus.
Belize offers many different religions that people from Belize practice. Roman Catholicism is the major religion, and enjoyed by half the people living in Belize, followed by Protestantism, which is practiced by a quarter of the population. Religious freedom is the law here, and you will also find Taoists, Buddhists, Jainists, Muslims, Bahai and Hindus, along with Jehovahs Witnesses.
