John 3:16 in the Languages of Uganda

John 3: 16 is arguably the most quoted and memorized verse in the entire Bible, and for a good reason: it expresses several essential elements of the gospel, like the sacrifice of Christ, salvation by faith alone, and eternal security.

In this video, we explore the meaning of John 3: 16, and provide a glimpse into how it sounds when translated into some of the indigenous languages of Uganda, a country in Eastern Africa. We conclude with a poetic plea to the believers at large to see and feel the very real need of Uganda's (and, by extension, Africa's) evangelization.

*Translation Note: All translations of John 3: 16 into the local Ugandan languages were done by the particular person presenting the language, from the KJV English version to the local language (only in a few instances consulting an already existing translation), and do not represent a formal attempt at translation. If there are any discrepancies with the KJV English reading, they are entirely unintentional, and the KJV reading is to be preferred.
