Jenjo NT
The Jenjo people are farmers in northeastern Nigeria. They manage a living from their land, but poverty plagues them. In spite of that, local churches are highly motivated to translate Scripture into their own language. Having access to God’s Word in the language they speak will allow for greater impact in discipleship. It will also help the community preserve their language, promote unity among them as a people and give them tools for evangelism.

Daily Prayer: the Jenjo-speaking people of Nigeria
20,131 Speakers for whom literacy and development programs will facilitate Scripture use, foster revival and fuel evangelism. The Good News first came to the Jenjo through missionaries in the 1940s. Today, about 35% claim faith in Christ. Eight Christian denominations have established work among the Jenjo. About 10% follow another major world religion while the rest practice traditional animistic beliefs. Local churches have agreed to cooperate together in the project.
