Kambari NT Cluster
Languages participating in this cluster:
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 the traditional religion, believing that curses, witchcraft and magic are the basis for everything that goes on in their lives. 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.
Three separate translations are being done simultaneously for these three Kambari people groups. By working together the translation teams can take advantage of the synergy that comes from shared goals, efforts and facilities. They can discuss translation problems, share in workshop and consultant resources and support each other in significant ways.
