Enula NT
In 1920, an influential leader among the Enula people decided to follow Christ. Through his influence, the entire people group broke with the dominant religion and claimed Christianity. However, until now they still do not have the Scriptures in their language. As a result, what they understand of Christianity is mixed with fear of evil spirits and rituals to placate them.
In 1986, two Enula men sought help from foreign linguists living in the area and started translating the New Testament. In recent years, the local security situation deteriorated and the foreigners had to leave. In their absence, the national translators continued their work. Now they plan to finish the New Testament within the next five years.
This project will pick up on the long-suffering work of national translators, providing them with the encouragement and resources they need to complete the work quickly. It’s hoped that the Scriptures will be used by God to challenge wrong practices in the church and to bolster the faith of the many committed believers in the community.
