Sunuwar New Testament Translation Project

Location: Nepal | Speakers: 34,560 | Project Status: New Testament 

By the grace of God, the Sunuwar Gospel according to John was completed in November 2025. It was published on our Online Bible App, and preparations are now underway for the printing of 2,000 copies. This translation will provide God’s Word to this group of nearly 35,000 Nepali people in their heart language.

Our attention is now turned to the New Testament; the Society currently lacks the necessary funding to complete the full translation of the New Testament. We earnestly seek the Lord’s provision to proceed with this vital work of bringing His Word to this region of Nepal.

How to pray for this project:

• Pray that the Lord would provide the resources needed to complete the entire New Testament translation for the Sunuwar-speaking people.
• Pray for the Gospel to be proclaimed to the Sunuwar people of Nepal, and that the Lord would open their hearts to hear the truths declared in His Scriptures.
• Pray for the print publication and distribution of the Gospel according to John, that it may soon be placed in the hands of Sunuwar readers.
• Pray for wisdom and diligence for the translation team as they labour in this important work.
