Irigwe NT | Rigwe
The Irigwe people have a thirst for the Bible in their language. Two previous translation efforts brought small amounts of Scripture to the Irigwe people, but few truly benefited from these efforts.
Seed Company partners will bolster these earlier efforts by the Irigwe church, providing computers, training materials, visits by experienced consultants and training sessions. We trust that this help, accompanied by much prayer, will make this third effort to translate the New Testament and Old Testament portions a success.
Irigwe women and the Irigwe poor are expected to be some of the big winners when this project is complete. They often lack the education to understand Bible translations available in the regional language, Hausa. This project will open up the possibility of personal Bible study and spiritual growth.
News from the Field

Irigwe of Nigeria
The Irigwe people of Nigeria number about 40,000. About half are Christians, but until recently, they’ve only had access to the Scriptures in the regional language called Hausa. Of course many people who lack education in Hausa can’t truly hear God speak this way.So in 2006, an Irigwe team committed to translating the New Testament plus Old Testament portions by 2013. They just dedicated the “JESUS” film in December 2009, providing the people with first glimpses into God speaking Irigwe.

This New Testament translation will speak especially to the women and poor of the Irigwe community. The Irigwe people have a thirst for the Bible in their language. Two previous translation efforts brought small amounts of Scripture to the Irigwe people, but few truly benefited from these efforts.
