Lutheran Study Bible Translation Project: Manipuri Status
We need your help to finish this language. As you’ll see in the table at bottom of this page, all 66 books of the Bible have projected costs associated with them – this is the cost of completing the exhaustive 12-step process. Obviously, we’ve got a long way to go, but we are absolutely committed to finishing Manipuri and the 14 other languages. Naturally, the timing is based on availability of resources and funding – but these will get done! Can you help us get there sooner?
