Start of New Cluster Language Project: Tanzania

United Republic of Tanzania [2010-10-06] —

Praise God for the 16 church leaders and representatives who recently met together with Wycliffe and SIL in Mpanda, south west Tanzania, to agree on starting language development and Bible translation for the Bende, Tongwe, Pimbwe and Rungwa language groups. The new cluster project (Katavi Cluster) aims to produce two translations, one to serve Bende and Tongwe, and the other to serve Pimbwe and Rungwa. Pray for ongoing partnership development with the churches in the area and for the new SIL teams that will be allocating to Mpanda town in 2011.
