Bring God’s Word to the Nizaa Language Community
The Nizaa Bible Translation program in Cameroon works to make Scripture available in the Nizaa language. The team translates Biblical texts, conducts linguistic research, and supports Scripture engagement through songs, storytelling, and community use.
Current work focuses on translation accuracy, community Scripture engagement, and literacy classes in several Nizaa‑speaking villages.
Beekeeping training in Mayo Baago and Sabongari supports local livelihoods alongside ongoing Scripture engagement activities.
Empowering Nizaa Communities Through Literacy and Faith
