Nehemiah 8:8
"They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being read."
The Burji community, a close-knit and predominantly Islamic group, experienced a historic and joyous moment as they celebrated the launch of the New Testament Bible in their language for the first time. This milestone marks a significant step in sharing the message of Christ with a people who have long valued their rich cultural and linguistic heritage.
The celebration of the Bible dedication was filled with songs, dances, and heartfelt prayers, reflecting the immense excitement and gratitude of the community. For many Burji Christians, having the New Testament in their own language is not just a spiritual triumph but also a cultural affirmation. For decades, they relied on translations in other languages, often feeling disconnected from the Word. Now, with the New Testament in Burji, the message of hope and salvation resonates deeply in their hearts.
