New Scripture in Senegal

Two women celebrating the dedication of the Bandial New Testament

"For if we are faithful to the end, trusting God just as firmly as when we first believed, we will share in all that belongs to Christ." -Hebrews 3:14

Newly translated Scriptures will soon be available to the 11,200 Bandial people of Senegal, Africa. Last summer, translation personnel typeset the Bandial New Testament, a key step in preparing it for publication. Plans are now underway in the Bandial community to mark the launch of their New Testament with a celebration on May 16.

• Ask God to help those organizing the celebration-may they have creativity and wisdom as they oversee the logistics. 
• Pray for good communication between the translators in the community, the linguist and exegete in France, and the Scripture use promoters in Dakar, Senegal. 
• Pray for God's Word to bring many Bandial people into His kingdom!
• There are also plans to record an audio version of the Bandial New Testament in partnership with Faith Comes by Hearing. Ask for God's blessing on this production. 

Make a Prayer Connection: Connect with a project  that's designed to address an important need in Senegal. As more translated Scriptures become available to local churches, many people are not adequately equipped to use these Scriptures in their heart language, nor have they fully embraced the need to do so. Wycliffe has a plan.
