NBTT SIGNS MOU WITH KAKA PEOPLE OF TARABA STATE
The mission and desire to take God’s word to the ends of the earth has led NBTT up the winding way leading to the tops of the undulating terrain on the mambila plateau in Taraba State of Nigeria to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the kaka people of Sardauna LGA, Taraba State, for the translation of God’s word into their heart language.
The signing was done in a ground breaking occasion witnessed by the Executive Director NBTT, Mrs Patience Toma, members of the clergy from the community, Community leaders and the locals who came out in numbers to show solidarity on 14th March, 2021at Gembu, the headquarters of Sardauna LGA. Not only will the signing of this MOU bring God’s word to the kaka people; it also means their cultural identity is preserved through a developed literacy system.
A visibly excited Kaka people filled the hall of the Ebenezer Church in high expectation as native traditional women dance group sang and ululated songs of praise and thanks giving to God for what he’s about to do in the life of their community.
The Executive Director, Mrs. Patience Toma in her remark appreciated God and the Kaka people for their warm welcome and zeal towards having the bible written in their heart language. She encouraged the committee inaugurated to navigate the ship of the project to do so as unto the lord.
