Country: NigeriaServing Since: 2011DonateRegion: West AfricaVertical Tabs AboutVision We believe in the power of God’s word to transform lives and communities. Translating the Bible into local languages empowers the local church and believers in their own context. God’s word is essential. • It is the key to evangelism. • It is indispensable to church planting. • It is the basis of discipleship. • It is the foundation of an established church. • It is a giver of life, hope and peace in the midst of trials. • It is eternal in its impact. • It is the message of God’s love. Mission We desire to see the worldwide church strengthened. We believe strongly in Bible translation as a primary means for this growth. God’s Word is the foundation to all of our activities as Christians. It gives indigenous churches the tool they need to grow into strong, vibrant communities that can in turn spread the Gospel to those around them. All other evangelistic and discipleship tools are grounded in the Bible. Mission Field Located in west Africa, Nigeria is Africa’s most populous nation with more than 160 million people speaking more than 500 different languages. It is split roughly in half with the northern half being predominantly Muslim and the south being predominantly Christian. Despite being rich in agricultural land, minerals and oil reserves, most Nigerians live in poverty and the country continues to struggle with corruption, the mismanagement of its resources, and ethnic and religious tensions.

Ten years ago, it would not have even been possible.”CONTINUE READING January 16, 2018Translation Work Leads to Restored FaithYakubu heard Jesus speak in his own language. Now his faith has been restored. Yakubu grew up a Christian but became disillusioned with the faith when he believed his pastor was abusing his position. Yakubu has since practiced his culture’s traditional religion and established a reputation as a drunkard. Then Yakubu encountered the gospel in a way he had never heard it before thanks to the translation work of CRC missionaries.CONTINUE READING Contact InfoAddress: c/o Resonate Global Mission Nigeria Courier 1700 28 Street SE Grand Rapids, MI 49508 United StatesEmail: jbarnhoorn@crcnapartners.org Prayer Letter Sign-up To subscribe to our prayer letters, provide your email and we will add you to our distribution list.
