Pipeline Nigeria

This month, We're re-blogging a post about Nigeria from the Wycliffe blog. The link is below in case you want to see the original post in context. You can expect more on this topic in our newsletter. 

There are so many stories we could tell you of the ways that God is at work throughout the entire process of Bible translation. Join us in rejoicing over what God is doing in the following communities and countries as more people receive Scripture in a language that speaks to their hearts.

*Pipeline ~ Engaging the Remaining Languages in Nigeria

In November 2023, Bible translation organizations and church leaders will come together to ask themselves the question, “How do we start a Bible translation project for the remaining languages across Nigeria?”

Nigeria has long been one of the countries with the highest remaining Bible translation needs. At this time last year, there were more than 250 languages that still needed work to begin. As a result of collaboration and strategic planning, a total of five projects were designed to address Bible translation needs across Nigeria. Four of these projects have already been approved, addressing Bible translation needs for 88 languages. Another project, led by SIL, is still in progress and will address approximately 40 more languages.

Praise God for the progress that these projects are already bringing, and pray for the upcoming conversations in November. It’s anticipated that through this ongoing collaboration, the approximate 110 remaining language needs in Nigeria could drop to 20!
