Musings of a Recovering Lutheran: Bible translation in Tanzania
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, 

Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?

Then said I, Here am I; send me.

Isaiah 6:8 (KJV)

Bible translation in Tanzania

The Bible Society is translating the Bible into the Kikagulu language.

It is rare to find someone in Tanzania who does not speak Kiswahili (the national language). Nevertheless, such individuals do exist. The Bible Society does God's work in spreading the Gospel by translating into the languages people can understand.

The widespread use of Kiswalili in Tanzania is the result of efforts by Tanzania's first President, the late Julius K. Nyerere.

Please pray for Bible translators everywhere.
