Date: April 26 - 29, 2022.

(Arrival is for 3pm on the 26th and departure on the morning of 29th) 

Venue: St Matthias House, National Secretariat of the Church of Nigeria ( Anglican Communion), Plot 942, Gudu District (Apo), FCT, Abuja.

Why should you be there?

The success of missions has not been without availability of Scriptures in the heart languages of the unreached and least evangelised peoples. If we must complete the Great Commission, we must work towards finishing the task in over 200 Nigerian languages needing at least a Scripture portion. The consultation is a means towards the end of Counting to zero... Finishing the Task of the Great Commission. 

 What benefit will this consultation add to participants?

The Church and Missions agencies make use of Translated Scriptures in evangelistic/missions as well as in Church growth endeavours. We surely need a meeting as this to catalyse a better working relationship together with labourers in Bible Translation Ministry. 

Our healthy collaboration is crucial to finishing the task and ensuring that nations and tongues are represented in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, so if you are passionate to see this happen, this meeting is for you.

Moreover, the consultation promises to expose participants to effective Scripture Engagement skills, Orality skills, Developing capacity and training opportunities in Bible Translation, Ethnoarts, Digital Multimedia Technology etc.

We shall listen to amazing testimonies of the impact of Bible Translation as well as journeying through the impacts of Bible Translation in Church, Missions and Community Transformation over the years.

The meeting will present the Remaining Tasks in Missions and Bible Translation labours and as well challenge participants to play a God-size role.

The consultation presents a rare opportunity to meet new persons and engage in partnership and networking relationships. We shall be playing host to participants from across Nigerian states as well as international friends. 

 Will there be resources?

There will be helpful resources for participants to make use of in their various fields/contexts. Exhibition stands will be special side attractions at the consultation. Participants will be able to visit the stands, make enquiries and obtain resources as much as possible.
