Alago of Nigeria

In recent years the Alago people have become passionate about preserving their mother-tongue. So for the first time, local translators have set the language into writing, and literacy programs are gearing up. At such a time as this, about a third of the population—which professes Jesus as Lord—is also excited about getting God’s Word in Alago. In fact, leaders from every evangelical denomination in the region wholeheartedly support this new Bible translation effort.

Alago translators plan to complete the New Testament and portions of the Old Testament by 2013, after starting in 2008. The “JESUS” film is also top priority.

  • Continue to pray that God will call two more translators and a skilled typist, who are willing to join the team.

  • Give thanks to God for opening translator Adi’s eyes to wonderful truths in Scripture, fueling his enthusiasm for the task at hand.

  • Praise God that an Alago alphabet and spelling system are now in place, forming a solid foundation for translation work.
