What We Do
1.TRANSLATION
We translate the Holy scriptures into various local languages of Uganda. Currently,16 complete local language Bibles have been translated and six others have New testament Bibles.
Translation is done in coorperation with the church.
To ensure accuracy and faithfulness to the original text,translation is done by a minimum of two translators,trained in theology and possesing working knowledge of of Hebrew and Greek languages.This team is then assigned a Translation consultant with wide experience in translation and trained in theology or Bible studies and lingustics.
The work done by the translators is subjected to rigorous review by a committee composed of members reccomended by the Church.
This whole process is tedious and costly,requiring large sums of money over a long period of time.
2.PRODUCTION
We publish scriptures in various formats including print,audio,visual and braille in order to meet the needs of all kinds of people . Since the scriptures are mostly used on a daily basis,we make sure the quality is top. This therefore dictates where production is done. Most of our production is done abroad and this comes at a high cost.
