Imagine going to church every Sunday and hearing God’s Word but never being able to read it in your own language. For the Tonga people of Zimbabwe, this has been their reality for generations.
The Tonga language, spoken by nearly 300,000 people in Zimbabwe and Zambia, has never had a full Bible in its own context. Pastors, church leaders, and families have longed for the Scriptures in the language of their hearts, a Bible that speaks directly to them, their children, and their culture.
The call for a Tonga Bible has come strongly from clergy, scholars, and the Tonga community itself. Chiefs, church leaders, and ordinary families have all said the same thing: “We need God’s Word in our mother tongue.”
This Fun Run is not just about fitness, it’s about faith. Every step taken, every registration, and every contribution will help bring the life-transforming message of the Bible to the Tonga people. By running, you are part of a historic movement to ensure that the Tonga people will, for the first time, hold the full Bible in their own language.
Come, run for the Tonga Bible, run for hope, for faith, and for generations yet to come.
