Since 2009 the Society has partnered with Dr Charles Keen (assisted by other American Independent Baptists) to prepare a new edition of the Mongolian Bible translated directly from the Greek Received and Hebrew Masoretic Texts.
The first edition of the New Testament was published in 2017 but is being lightly revised to improve some of the phrasing. The Old Testament translation team has endured a very challenging few years. First, the American missionary leading the project
was very seriously ill with Covid‐19. At one stage we feared the Lord might take him to Himself, but his life was spared for which we give thanks to God, although he subsequently had to spend months carefully recovering. Secondly, the much‐loved,
oldest Mongolian member of the translation team passed away. The other three Mongolian members of the team certainly need our prayers at this time.
Notwithstanding these considerable challenges, work has progressed with further Old Testament books being translated in first draft. We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Great Company of Publishers for the Old Testament portion of this
project. The Society funds the revision work on the New Testament.
One of the Mongolian translators gave a brief history and update on the Mongolian project in the following video.
