The Bible Society of Malawi (BMS) has embarked on a three-year project to produce a Chichewa version of the Buku Loyera Old Testament Study Bible.
According to Wilfred Ngalawa, Projects Director at BMS, the new version aims to ease the dissemination of the Word of God by lay pastors and others studying the Bible, featuring simplified study notes.
The project builds on previous work completed in 2017, which resulted in the New Testament Buku Loyera Study Bible. To raise funds for the K50 million project, the BMS has organized a High Tea party fundraiser in Lilongwe on June 21.
The event will bring together professional and business women in Malawi, with the BMS also reaching out to churches for support.
Chairperson of the tea party fundraising committee, Wezzie Kanthunzi, has expressed optimism that the event will help raise the necessary funds to complete the project.
The production of the Chichewa Old Testament Study Bible is expected to have a significant impact on the spiritual growth of Malawians, particularly those who rely on the Chichewa language for biblical study and reflection.
With the BMS committed to spreading the Word of God, this project is set to play a crucial role in enhancing biblical understanding and education in Malawi.
