You can support a number of passionate Bali and Mba speaking Christians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as they act as ambassadors of Christ in their communities and renounce traditional occult practices.

Believers in both language communities are eager to have the Bible or, at least the New Testament, translated into their first language and available in written and oral form.

But physical, educational and spiritual poverty bind them. With your help, they will build strong Christian communities, overcome poverty with literacy, and preserve their rich culture for future generations.

YOUR PARTNERSHIP IS KEY

You can help make an impact for eternity among the Bali and Mba people. Your financial gifts will enable project staff to:

• Actively promote the work of Bible translation to help engage churches and communities in the process

• Translate the Scriptures

• Share the gospel through media such as the “JESUS” film in local languages

• Encourage and equip local people involved as they take pride in their heritage
