[sword-devel] BSPNG Permissions Update

[Chris Little]

If you think it would help your efforts (which we certainly appreciate), 
you could mention that WBTI gave us permission to distribute 40 Bibles 
(38 NTs, a full Bible, and an NT+Psalms), primarily in languages of 
Mexico & Guatemala. There may be more, but that's the first batch. Those 
will show up both as downloads for offline use and (I assume) for online 
use via the Bible Tool.
