What an accomplishment! 🎉📝

Over the course of the Jam Ma translation project in Cameroon, three language communities increased their literacy rate by 20%, 31%, and 42%, respectively. This is double, triple, and quadruple the original goals!

Every Bible translation project OneBook serves aims to increase the literacy rate of a language community in time for the arrival of translated Scripture.

Lord, build faith in the younger generation as they learn Your Word in their language through these songs. Kassin - South Asia 📍

Scripture is not translated in a bubble.

It takes the teamwork of people who speak and care for a language, trained experts, community volunteers, national visionaries, and your practical help and prayers. 🤝📖

Praise God with us that the translation team in Wambra community completed four new books of the Bible in the first five months of this year. The mother-tongue books are ready for sharing in this remote area of Highland Asia!

"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6:8 (ESV)
