Understand The Bible Better By Reading Nigerian Pidgin Language Bible by udonna20(m): 4:19pm On Nov 29, 2010
We, of Mercy christian Ministry International want to inform you of two very important projects that have been completed in Nigeria:


 1. The Nigerian Pidgin Language Primer
This Primer teaches Nigerians how to read and write the Nigerian Pidgin Language (NPL), which is a language spoken by over 70 million Nigerians.
The alphabet and orthography of the NPL was standardized in a workshop held at University of Ibadan which was organized by Late Prof. Kay Williamson (of University of Port Harcourt) and Mercy Christian Ministry International (MCMI) in February 2003.

The Nigerian Pidgin Language alphabet can be downloaded at

This project will be of immense benefit to the stability and development of the Niger Delta and other areas of the country. This is because, for the first time, MCMI working with other experts have standardized Nigerian Pidgin Language as a medium of communication which the government can use to communicate written information to the people of the Niger Delta and other people in Nigeria.

 2. The Nigerian Pidgin Language Bible (NPLB)
The Nigerian Pidgin Language Bible is a product of an 11-year translation work by Mercy Christian Ministry International. The New Testament is now ready for publication and can be read online at

www.mercy-christian-ministry.org/nigerian-pidgin-language-new-testament.html

This Bible will be distributed to all Nigerians free of charge.

Note: We are still posting the books of New Testament online for people to read freely.

We seek your support financially, morally, spiritually and your comments and advice

It's about time, because most nigerians cannot understand the normal english version. You'll spend half the discussion teaching them about grammar and english vocabulary.

undecided how is the translation supposed to make them understand the bible better? those that are really hungry to understand things published in foreign languages gradually pick up the languages along the way. i am not detracting their effort anyway. they have done well.
