About Jukun Bible Institute
Jukun Bible Institute equips Bible translators and church leaders to produce accurate, culturally relevant Scripture in local languages. Through practical training, mentoring, and expert guidance, we strengthen translation teams from first drafts to final quality checks. Our work blends linguistic insight with careful exegesis and community engagement so that translated Scripture is clear, faithful to the original meaning, and natural in everyday speech. Whether you are starting a new translation effort or improving an existing one, we partner with you to build skills, ensure consistency, and support long-term translation impact for the Church.

About
A brief History of Jukun Bible Translation Project:
The Jukun Bible Translation Project started in 1956 by an American Missionary Late Mrs. Margaret Dykstra. She was assisted by two Takum indigenes namely Late Mallam Joel Omiri and Late Mrs. Milkatu Filibus Ikaa. The team translated and printed the New Testament portion of the Bible.
Before Leaving Nigeria to the United State of America, she approached Gen. TY. Danjuma and handed the completed New Testament and pleaded with him to continue with the Translation Project.
* The General accepted the challenge and quickly set up a new team made up of Late Rev. Siman D. Ikpi, Late Mallam David Biliya and Late Mallam Samuila Tsokwa Yakubu etc, who continued with the translation project. Not too long after the General reshuffled the team and brought Rev. Dr. Isaiah Jirapye Magaji to lead the translation project.
