Tedim Zomi New Testament Progressing Towards Publication

Location: India, Myanmar
Speakers: 257,000
Project Status: New Testament
Christian Population: 70%

The Tedim Zomi people are a small tribe of about 250,000 people located primarily in northern India and Myanmar. Much of the initial translation work was completed before we met our translator, and we were thankful to learn that he understood and followed the translation methods the Society holds to. He had handwritten his translation which needed to be digitised before we could publish it.

We give thanks that the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs have now been digitised and have gone through the TBS translation analysis. Lord willing, we hope to finish the editorial checks by the end of October, at which point it can be typeset.  

How to pray for this project:

• Pray for the translator as he continues his New Testament revision and proofreading translation work.
• Pray for the Old Testament digitisation to proceed quickly and accurately, and for the editing and checks that must follow thereafter.
• Pray for further distribution channels to be opened amongst the Tedim Zomi people, who have a wide diaspora including India, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, and the USA.
