Jenjo NT | Jenjo

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.
