Daily Prayer: the Manjaku-speaking people of Guinea Bissau
$240,852 still needed. 285,000 speakers – This project is building on a forty-year history of mission work to bring Scripture to a Bibleless church. The largest Manjaku community in Guinea-Bissau in particular has suffered during the last several years of government and social turmoil.
- Believers in the other counties find themselves the minority, often in troubled regions. Thank the Lord that in that climate, many have found real, lasting peace through Jesus Christ, and the church is growing.
- Bible translators have worked among the Manajaku since the 1960s, but for many years their efforts were divided across three counties and only the Gospel of Luke was produced. Pray they may build on the previous success in translation and complete the NT and portions of the OT that have been started.
- Organizational partners, SIL, United Bible Societies and New Tribes Mission, will assist the team by leading periodic workshops for the three key Manjaku translators. Thank God for our partnerships.
