1 People and Language Detail Report Profile Year: UNKNOWN Language Name: Benga ISO Language Code: bng The Benga people are a peaceful and friendly group of coastal fishermen, sailors and merchants. They are one of the 14 Ndowe people groups living along the coast of Equitorial Guinea (EG). Their traditional home is Corisco island and Elobey Grande and the mouth of the mighty Rio Muni estuary and the south coast of EG. Corisco island is a beautiful tropical paradise, famous for its snow white sand. Presbyterian missionaries from USA began work among the Benga in The NT was printed in 1893, followed by 18 books of the Old Testament between 1899 to Time and tropical humidity almost destroyed all existing copies. Revision and reprinting is desperately needed. The last missionary left Benga during WWII, in 1943, but the tiny protestant church started by the missionaries still hangs on. For economic reasons about 90% of the Benga left Corisco island. Primary Religion: Christian Disciples (Matt 28.19): Churches: 1 Scripture Status (Matt 28.20): Needs revision Population (date): 2,200 (1996)

There is no Benga literacy program. literacy has enabled some to use Scripture in that language for the few who have them. For the old translation there are only a few tattered copies still around from the last printings nearly a century ago.

Fishers Fishermen, sailors, merchants Fish and trade except fish Mainland EG and Gabon, especially Libreville one diesel generator part-time on Corisco Island, Very basic lifestyle. Unemploiment and lack of opportunity has led to migration so that on their homeland the Corisco island life only 10% of the whole population. This had some negative consequences for the social structure of this people group. Poor Only one nurse with limited training, no doctor, no dentist Good There is no lack of food, but there is not always the nutritional balance. Education in this area could improve their health.

Their society seems to run smoothly, no evidence of major tensions Fish, help parents, carry water and gather wood No higher education, no professional training, hardly any entertainment for youth. Spiritual revival, education, training and jobs. Perhaps an activity center A missionary family living and working among them could bring new life and hope to these precious people especially if part of the teaching and encouraging is done for the young people There is a primary school up to 5th grade on Corisco island. Almost all, 65 children participate. There are very few texts and materials in and only one teacher.

At present the vast majority of the Benga have probably not yet heard the Word of God in an relevant presentation. all Catholic practices Somewhat resistant They are extremely receptive to help, especially in the form of Scripture revision, reprinting, literacy, education and training. the Bible to read what they are to believe would make a big difference open

Some New Apostolics from Germany offer incentives to attend their services and are growing as a group. The Benga would relate to Christ and his disciples as fishermen, and to the simple lifestyle of the Hebrew culture. Also a Spaniard or Latin American might be culturally more able to relate to them and to reach them. The Benga are spiritually needy, nearly lifeless, but open to anyone who sincerely wants to help them. The time is ideal for general revision, and even for finishing up the Old Testament translation which is still remaining. It would be very nice to have them for the centennial celebration, 100 years after the fist printing. for revival of the struggling Benga church. For protection against sects. Pray for somebody to take the time to help them get their Scriptures reprinted and for development workers to help them in all the other aspects needed.

They did not have the advantage of today's medicine, communication and transportation and technology Revision New Testament Printed Unknown The Benga Scriptures are in a desperate need to be revised. Wycliffe Spain has started to reprint Benga Scriptures. Contact them if you like to contribute or if you know of somebody who could help revise and check them. Scripture portions and a hymnbook.
