Prayer for Bible mission in The Gambia

Happy new year from all of us at Bible Society! We're excited to see all that God has in store for us and for Bible mission in 2023. Thank you for joining us in prayer.

This month we're focusing on Bible mission in Africa. Let's pray for ongoing projects such as the Bible House in Mali and give thanks for the success of projects such as the translation of the Jola Bible in The Gambia.

 

Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. And they were amazed and astonished, saying, 'Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.'
(Acts 2.5–11, ESV)

 

Give thanks to God for the recent launch of the full Bible in the Jola language in The Gambia after years of hard work from the translation team.

Please pray that God's word will be received with much joy and bear lasting fruit among the Jola community.

 

Thank you for praying with us. We deeply value your intercessions on our behalf as we seek to share God's word at home and around the world.
