Guerguiko New Testament (MOZWBT)

Overview

The Guerguiko New Testament was dedicated on December 28, 2020, in Moukoulou, Guéra Province, Chad, with nearly 2,000 people in attendance. [1] The language is properly called Guerguiko (or Gergiko); "Mukulu" refers to the principal village. Translation work began around 1992 when David and Elly Sharp (Wycliffe Australia) relocated to Mukulu village, and the project took approximately 28 years to complete. [1] Printed New Testaments arrived in Chad in early 2020 but the launch was delayed first by customs, then by the COVID-19 pandemic. [2] The church grew significantly during the translation process, creating three satellite congregations even before the New Testament was completed. [2]
