Bruce Cox and Kathy Cummins initially worked with four Tivoid languages in Cameroon in language development from 2008. All four of the language communities developed a language committee, an alphabet and a beginning writing system for their language. The Iceve progressed on to Bible translation in Nigeria and the Gospel of Luke was published in 2023.
Nigeria has over 500 languages. There are 156 of them still without any Bible translation in any dialect, even though they are actively used. So, from June 2024, Bruce (linguistics) and Kathy (literacy) are using their skills and experience to assist some of those language groups.
