Nancy Arias, 29, is the Bible Society’s Graphic Designer, and feels that it is a privilege to be involved in Christian work. She has enjoyed using her creativity and skills in designing posters, some featuring some of Costa Rica’s most beautiful orchids placed alongside Bible texts. Costa Ricans are proud of their country’s flora (right), and the Society’s posters have attracted the attention of many people who would not ordinarily be drawn to reading the Bible. “I am proud to be a part of sharing the Gospel with my people in this way,” says Ms Arias.
