Irigwe of Nigeria

The Irigwe people of Nigeria number about 40,000. About half are Christians, but until recently, they’ve only had access to the Scriptures in the regional language called Hausa. Of course many people who lack education in Hausa can’t truly hear God speak this way.

So in 2006, an Irigwe team committed to translating the New Testament plus Old Testament portions by 2013. They just dedicated the “JESUS” film in December 2009, providing the people with first glimpses into God speaking Irigwe.

*Praise God that more than half the New Testament has been checked by a consultant.

*Pray that God will pave the way so the team can finish checking the New Testament this year.

*Pray that more showings of the “JESUS” film will bring revival in the whole land.
