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."
Located in Northern Kenya and parts of Ethiopia, the Burji are known for their vibrant traditions and strong community bonds. Islam remains the predominant religion in the region at 98%.
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.
This momentous event is a testament to the power of faith, determination, and unity, as translators, church leaders, and community members came together to make this vision a reality. The New Testament in Burji is more than just a book; it is a beacon of hope and a tool for spiritual growth that will undoubtedly transform lives and strengthen the Christian faith within the Burji community for years to come.
