Today's Birao language is in danger of being lost. We aim to write as much as we can, including stories, songs, instructions, histories, and more.
Encourage the Culture
Encourage the Culture
Allowing the Birao to embrace and encourage culture while also making culture and art more and more a part of church and school.
Finding the Birao
Finding the Birao
Finding them is only the first step. Bringing the gospel to these beautiful people can be challenging - not just because we are communicating so many new ideas in the language, but also because of how hard the churches are already working. Our hope is that by producing the Bible and other works in Birao, while supporting Birao literacy, many will find understanding their Creator easier, as well as seeing the differences are between culture and Christianity. We love to see these bright traditional people get excited about their language preservation and growing education!
