MBANDJA; Democratic Republic of the Congo; 362,000. Praise the Lord! For two years, the Mbandja translation team waited and prayed foran official license to print and publish their work, and in mid-2012, theyfinally received it. The team hoped to have a Scripture dedication in late 2012. The Mbandja Old Testament finally joined the New Testament, whichwas published ten years ago. Pray that the Lord will use this translation inpowerful ways to deepen the faith of the Mbandja believers and draw othersto Him. www.theseedcompany.org

MBANDJA; Democratic Republic of the Congo; 362,000. The Mbandja Old Testament is completed. Ask God to protect everyone involved in the final stages of work: typesetting, printing, and delivery. Lift the typesetters up in prayer because they often work in a language they don’t understand. Ask God for His wisdom and skill so they may work accurately and efficiently. Pray for the printers and post-print workers, that the finished product will be of the highest possible quality and that the published books will be delivered safely.

Goma Mabele has been the project leader of the Mbandja Bible translation project, now in its final stages, in western Democratic Republic of Congo.  The complete Bible is almost ready to be sent to the printers.  Pray that God would remove all the obstacles to the printing and distribution of this book.  Pray for Goma as he transitions from project leader to translation consultant.
