Across the world in many places that accept refugees, there are communities of a heavily persecuted and displaced people group from eastern Congo called the Banyamulenge. Because of the unstable environment in their home area, we have organized a project stateside to serve their needs. We are primarily involved in four major outreach strategies: Bible translation, literacy, trauma healing and media/online engagement.
The Banyamulenge are a Christian group, but they don’t have a Bible in the language they know best. Our goals are to help this community find their voice, empower their ministries, build discipleship, retain their culture and language while living abroad, and help them understand and love the Bible more through their own language.
Participate in Bible translation in a refugee community in Louisville, Kentucky! Be involved with community outreach, field testing translation, exegesis, literacy, and all the essential parts of a thriving Bible translation project, reaching hundreds of thousands of Banyamulenge living not just in Louisville, but all over the world.
Focus:
