About Us

The Standard Romani Bible Translation Committee works in partnership with Wycliffe Romania, SIL International and others – with the purpose of carrying out the translation work, and engaging Roma communities with the translated Scriptures. As the result of the preliminary discussions, all partners agreed that the translation of the Bible would be done in Standard Romani, the language taught in schools to Roma children in Romania. We appreciate your prayers for our Roma project, while we acknowledge our dependence on God for such a work. We also invite you to financially support this work.
