Banen, Cameroon: The Banen people live in two main areas, separated by almost impenetrable rainforest, which makes communication between them slow and difficult. Pray that literacy classes will be established in the more remote area and that churches there will enthusiastically embrace the translation project.

Bagwere, Uganda: Several books of the New Testament have been published in the Lugwere language, and others have been drafted and are being checked by a consultant. Pray that the Lugwere speakers who review the draft translations will be excited to see God’s word in their language and will share their enthusiasm with their communities.

Weera*, Kenya: A young man joined the Weera team in January to adapt an existing translation into the related Weera language. He is doing translation training before going to the Weera area, where he’ll work with the one local Weera translator. Pray for good working relationships.

Aghem, Cameroon: Training on translation principles was held in 2011 for those who interpret preaching from the trade languages into Aghem. It has had a positive impact for the churches, and further training will take place this year for those who missed the first session. Pray for a better understanding of God’s word in the Aghem churches.

Banyole, Uganda: A group from an InFocus supporting church are planning their first visit to the Banyole in November. A briefing meeting is being held at the Wycliffe UK headquarters today to help them prepare. Pray for their practical and spiritual readiness, and that their visit will be a blessing both to the Banyole people and to the UK church.
