Kurumba Kannada New Testament — 2017 New Life Computer Institute (KFIKVV)

Overview

This audio edition of the Kurumba Kannada New Testament was produced in 2017 by New Life Computer Institute (NLCI), a ministry based in India that specializes in producing Scripture recordings and digital Bible resources in minority languages. NLCI has been active in producing audio Bibles and digital resources for numerous tribal and minority language communities across South Asia, often working with local church networks and language community partners. This edition is distinct from the 2018 New Life Literature print and audio release (KFINLC) and is listed separately in the Faith Comes By Hearing database. The Kurumba Kannada people are a tribal community, and access to Scripture in their heart language has supported evangelism and church planting efforts among them.
