Typesetting all around Tanzania


Hi friends, 

I've been working on a lot of typesetting projects for language groups all over Tanzania. I thought it would be fun to give you a quick tour of Tanzania, and show you the different projects I've been working on.


 Let's begin in the town of Musoma. This is where we lived when we were in Tanzania. Musoma is in the northern part of Tanzania, on the shores of Lake Victoria. That's where we worked on translating the Bible into the Jita language. Then I also typeset the Jita New Testament. 


Then we go down to southern Tanzania, to the Manda people. There are 43,000 Manda speakers. I typeset the book of Ruth in the Manda language.


Now back to Musoma, to the Ngoreme and Isenye people. These are brand new translation projects that are just getting started. I typeset the Christmas story from the book of Matthew in Isenye and the Christmas story from the book of Luke in Ngoreme.


Right now, I'm working on a project for the Simbiti people, also around Musoma. I'm typesetting a booklet of Genesis, Ruth, and Jonah. 


Then over to western Tanzania, to the Bende people. There are 125,000 Bende people. I'm typesetting the book of Acts in the Bende language.

It's so fun to be involved with translation projects all over Tanzania. We love seeing people from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation enjoying God's Word.

Thank you for partnering with us in bringing the gospel to the people of Tanzania!
