About the Project
The Mann people have a New Testament in their language and it has been well distributed since its publication. Many Mann-speaking people are Christians, mainly from the United Liberian Inland Church, the United Methodist Church, and the Roman Catholic Church. The Mann New Testament was completed in 1991. Since then the Mann people have been requesting the translation of their whole Bible. The translation of the Mann NT has caused an increase in evangelism in the interior of the county and has increased the number of new churches and church attendance among the Mann-speaking people. Since Bible translation is key to the BSL strategic plan, it is important to undertake this Bible translation project with the objective of making God’s word available to all in their language so that they have a transformed life.
