From February 20–23, 2025, Ministerio Bíblico Verbo Divino (MBVD) once again participated in the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress in Anaheim. This year, we rented six booths, showcasing an extensive collection of Bibles and approximately 700 books, including 550 titles published by Editorial Verbo Divino (EVD) in Spain. The participants were fewer this year but enthusiasm and attention to our booths was better than ever. People were amazed at MBVD’s broad range of books and literature. Thanks to Pavol and his industrious team, MBVD is finally get-ting the recognition it deserves.
Competing against major publishers is no easy task, but EVD presented high-quality books from renowned authors, solidifying its reputation as one of the most respect-ed religious publishers in recent years.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to the dedicated staff and volunteers of MBVD for their hard work in preparing and assisting during the exhibition. Special recognition should go to Rosalio Sainos, whose exceptional work on the booth decoration gave our exhibit a professional and visually striking appeal. With some key improvements from previous years, our exhibition stood out and made a lasting impression.
Over the course of the three-day congress, we welcomed many visitors who explored our collection, inquired about additional titles, and purchased or placed orders for our books. While attendance has not yet returned to pre-pandemic levels, we are proud to have offered a rich selection of meaningful publications from EVD, distributed through MBVD.
We look forward to continuing our mission of sharing valuable spiritual and theological resources with the community in the years to come.
