The Erei of Nigeria

One day, an Erei translator named Friday used a draft of John 3:16 to explain the translation project plan to Erei community leaders. As he prepared to leave, a non-believer detained him. The man had never attended church, but when he’d heard there was Scripture in his language, he’d searched the village to find the source.

“Please,” he begged. “Can you give me that Bible in Erei that I heard you brought?” Though the verse was roughly translated, the stranger beamed with delight when Friday offered it to him. God is clearly moving in the hearts of the Erei people.

  • Pray that God uses the roughly translated Erei Bible to encourage this man.
  • Pray for Friday as he encourages many more people to help the Erei translation team.
  • Pray that many more people in the community will come eagerly to learn about Jesus.
