Tyap of Nigeria
130,000 people in a country that needs God’s deeper truths in languages that the ordinary people can understand. Two previous translation efforts met with limited success – the second resulting in a draft of 60 percent of the New Testament. Seed Company partners will bolster these earlier efforts by the Kataf church, providing computers, training materials, visits by experienced consultants and training sessions.
- Praise God that the doctrinally rich books of Romans and Corinthians are getting close to being in the hands of Tyap speakers. Pray that the saving message of Paul’s epistles will deeply affect those who read and hear it in the vernacular.
- The translation team and the reviewers are working to complete the draft of the NT. A consultant’s evaluation is scheduled; then they’ll prepare a trial edition in the people’s heart language.
- Pray for the availability of consultants so that the remaining NT books that still need a formal review can be checked and approved.
