Kisanga Bible Translation Project

Location: DRC 
Speakers:  1.1 million 
Project Status: Gospel 
Christian Population: 96%

In 1991, we published a Kisanga Bible, and with some revisions, we would like to publish it again. While the work is slow, the Gospel according to John has recently been approved for publication. Work continues on revising the other Gospels.

Our reviser lives in the DRC and faces serious safety concerns due to the ongoing rebel fighting which is supported by Rwandan soldiers. Earlier this year, the escalating violence in the DRC resulted in the kidnapping and deaths of 70 Christians.

‘Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee’ (Isaiah 26.3).

How to pray for this project:

• For the safety of the reviser and his family who live in a very dangerous war zone in the DRC.
• For all Christians in the DRC, the salvation of the rebels and fighters, and peace to be restored to the country.
• For the publication and distribution of the Gospel according to John.
• For the revision work of the whole Bible.
