Olgam NT
The Olgam people practice a traditional religion, attributing power to the spirits that they believe control their lives. They are very resistant to Christianity, and fewer than 10 people are believers. Two skilled husband and wife teams from within the country are now living with the Olgam people to better learn the language and translate the Scriptures. They plan to translate the New Testament and portions of the Old Testament into the Olgam language by 2012.

Olgam of South Asia
Most Olgam speakers live in small villages scattered among remote hills and the narrow valleys in between. Today they practice a lifestyle and wear clothing that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The Olgam practice a traditional animistic religion, attributing power to the spirits of ancestors, trees, water and other objects that they believe control their lives. Because the concept of Christianity is new to the Olgam people, they remain very resistant toward the Gospel. - May01
