Years of civil war have devastated the Democratic Republic of the Congo, impacting about 50 million Congolese and claming 3 million lives. In the midst of these terrible circumstances, several language groups in the eastern DRC have expressed a desire to see the Scriptures in their languages.

Translators from a cluster of language groups are working together to translate the book of Genesis. They are receiving training through consultant visits and workshops, which allow them to draw on each others’ experience and skills. This collaboration is speeding translators’ efforts and providing essential encouragement for the teams.
