Bible translation in the market
Nigerian Bible translators shared some recently translated scriptures with business women and traders in the community. The team went to these women right where they were at their places of trade in the market. The women and passersby welcomed the effort of the team and quickly became interested and attentive to what was being read. By presenting scripture in the mother tongue language, people heard and understood the passage in the language that is dear to their hearts. This is the essence of Bible translation: removing language barriers and making God's message personal and accessible. This activity was particularly impactful because it took Scripture beyond the walls of the church and brought it directly into the marketplace and workplace, demonstrating how God's Word is relevant to every aspect of life, including the busy routines of traders and business women.
