The goal of the Word of Life project is to see the complete Bible available in the “Mint” language and for all Mint people to be able to freely access it online, in both written and audio form. The translation project has been underway for over twenty years and recently celebrated the important milestone of having the entirety of the scriptures translated into the Mint language. The greatest challenges now are in the areas of distribution and ensuring that the Mint people are able to access the scriptures.

Many Mint are illiterate, so having the scriptures in audio and video form is needed. There are still large portions of the Old Testament which lack an audio recording. Further work is being done in producing Mint language gospel videos and creating original Mint music to accompany scripture videos and audio, making the scripture more culturally familiar and easier for Mint people to understand.

The Mint texts are being made available digitally in various formats so that it can be accessed all over the vast Mint homeland area, so that even those without access to printed Bible distribution can access the Word on their phones. It is also important that streaming and other options be made available so that locals can avoid being found with sensitive materials on their phone.
