Logo of DRC

The Scriptures will bring renewed hope and vision after years of devastating civil war. The Logo people are located primarily in the northeastern corner of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), formerly known as Zaire. The Civil war fighting has also made it impossible for expatriates to live in DRC, so the Logo people continued the project on their own with help from SIL. The Logoti team members have demonstrated spiritual maturity and deep commitment to the project even through severe trials. The translators come together with other teams in workshop settings to compare their drafts and learn from one another. It is important that the Logo people receive the full message of God’s Word, especially in light of the common practices of ancestor veneration and sorcery.

  • Pray for the Logo team as they undertake the immense task of drafting the remaining New Testament epistles and revising the ones already translated.

  • Pray for translator Atakelo and her daughters as they grieve the passing of Atake. Pray for the team as they feel disheartened over the loss of their esteemed colleague.

  • Pray that valuable Scripture materials in Logo will soon be in print. Pray that God will use His Word in Logo to help stem the AIDS epidemic. Pray for peace and calm to return to this very tense and insecure Logo area.
