Languages participating in this cluster:

  • Agwara
  • Auna
  • Salka

The Kambari Project focuses on a cluster of three related language groups in western Nigeria: the Agwara, the Auna and the Salka. Each group has an estimated 125,000 to 150,000 people. A segment of this population practices a traditional African religion. Their lives dominated by their belief in spiritual forces that can only be appeased by sacrifices or controlled by witchcraft. A majority of the Auna follow another major world religion.

Christianity is practiced by some, with a number of denominations and Bible schools located in the larger towns that are the political and business centers. Among those active in the area are the United Missionary Church of Africa, the Evangelical Church of West Africa, Assemblies of God and the Roman Catholic Church.

Although New Testament portions are already available and Kambari people are learning the truth about Christ, there is significant misunderstanding of the underpinnings of the gospel message. This project will provide Genesis, Exodus and some other Old Testament books. Genesis and Exodus will answer questions like: Where did human beings come from? What is the character of God like? What does He require of man? Why do human beings need a Savior? Other portions, such as the prophetic books, can help establish a biblical basis for marriage, demonstrate the results of corruption and offer leadership models. The Old Testament also resonates with people of the other major faith, providing a bridge to help people understand the message of the New Testament.

They will translate key books like Genesis and Exodus to answer the questions: Where did man come from? What is the character of God like? What does He require of human beings? Why do human beings need a Savior?

    The Old Testament will be a good foundation for the New Testament!

    Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and bless his name. For the LORD is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation. (Psalm 100:4-5, NLT)
