Should they be without the WORD? The approximately 200,000
Yungur-speaking community in Adamawa state, Nigeria has no Bible in their heart
language. Although they have and use the Hausa Bible, this does not fully
satisfy the yearning of the community to have God speak to them in their own
language. To help the Yungur people hear God in their native language, The
Bible Society of Nigeria has launched the Binna (Yungur) First Bible Translation
Project. The project is in keeping with the mission of The Bible Society of
Nigeria which is "making the Holy Bible available and affordable to Nigerians in their preferred languages and formats, helping them to engage with the Word of God through life-transforming programmes." The project is to make God's Word available to
the Yungur people in their mother tongue, to facilitate evangelistic efforts
which will bring the people to the knowledge of God and bring about
transformation in their lives. It will also help to
facilitate literacy in Yungur-speaking communities.
