With over 500 languages and a population of over 180 million people, Nigeria is home to many Bibleless language communities and therefore a fertile ground for Bible translation work. Wycliffe’s field partner SIL Nigeria has 80 workers from all over the world serving many of the 100+ ongoing language projects.
Yunana is a national missionary, committed to helping the minority language communities to engage with their available translated Scriptures in culturally appropriate ways. He works as a Scripture Engagement intern helping to ensure the use of mother tongue scriptures through Bible studies that utilize both the audio and printed Bible, as well as Bible storying, visual arts and drama. Yunana is helping to ensure that the translated scriptures do not lie unused but instead are guiding positive transformation in the minority language communities of Nigeria.
Yunana is personally following God’s call to be a missionary in his own land and is trusting God to supply all his needs. Thank you for considering partnering in Bible translation with Yunana through your financial and prayer partnership in his ministry with Wycliffe.
