About Us
Who We Are
Luke Initiative for Scripture Translation (LIST) is a Christian organization working hand in hand with the Nigerian Church, local communities, and strategic partners to develop languages, translate Scripture, and encourage its use for the transformation of lives.
Our foundation rests on the belief that God speaks every language and that every person deserves to experience His Word in the language they understand best.
What We Do
We adopt a cluster strategy, grouping linguistically related languages together to maximize collaboration and impact. Each cluster engages in a series of training workshops and translation activities to achieve set goals.
What We Value
We value deep linguistic understanding and translation accuracy.
Our teams receive continuous training and work closely with qualified consultants to ensure that every translation is accurate, clear, and natural. Native speakers play a vital role in reviewing translations—ensuring the message of God’s Word communicates clearly and naturally within their cultural context.
