Meaningful collaboration took place last week on Nguna Island, where SIL Global, the VBT, and the Vanuatu Christian Council joined together with translators from South Efate. Special guests included SIL Executive Director, Dr. Johnstone Ndunde. The focus of the meeting was on advancing Oral Bible Storying (OBS) in the local languages of Nakanamanga, Namakura, and Bislama, strengthening the mission of sharing God’s Word in heart languages.

The event began with a warm and joyful welcome from the Nguna chief, who graciously gave his blessing and authority for the collaboration to proceed.

“Hapi Jisas Laef Bakagen”

— a loose equivalent of “He is risen” in the language of Bislama

“When the world shook and the sun was wiped out of heaven, it was not at the crucifixion, but at the cry from the cross: the cry which confessed that God was forsaken of God.”

— G.K. Chesterton

Good Friday to All

We couldn’t do the work of language preservation, literacy training, and Bible translation without the support of people like you and @Geyser

There is more to come in the very near future. We’re talking cutting-edge stuff to help endangered languages. Keep an eye on our posts!

The 2026 Vanuatu Bible Collaboration Meeting recently wrapped up at Iririki Island. Many translation agencies were greatly impressed with the progress of the VBT after just one year of operation. They expressed a desire to partner with the VBT in future language projects. “Presem Masta!”
