Lugungu NT
The Bagungu people call their language Lugungu. They live in western Uganda, just south of where the Nile River flows into the Lake Albert. The Anglican and Catholic churches have been present among the Bagungu for decades, but only a few of the people are active, practicing Christians today. The rest of the population continues to practice traditional animistic religion, often mixing certain Christian beliefs with their animism.
The Bagungu translation team is currently drafting portions of the Old and New Testaments into Lugungu, and they are working on the JESUS film. When the Bagungu people have the Scriptures in a language they truly understand, they will have the opportunity to develop deeper, more personal relationships with God. The JESUS film will serve as a powerful evangelistic tool to touch many Bagungu lives with the Gospel message.
