A brief History of Jukun Bible Translation Project: the jukun Bible translation project started in 1956 by an American Missionary Late Mrs. Margaret Dykstra. She was asisted by two Takum indigens namely late Mallam Joel Omiri and late Mrs. Milkatu Filibus Ikaa. The team translated and printed the New Testament portion of the Bible. Before Leaving Nigeria to the United State of America, she approached Gen. TY. Danjuma and handed the completed New Testament and pleaded with him to continue with the translation project. * The General accepted the challenge and quickly set up a new team made up of late Rev. Simon D. Ikpi, Late Mallam David Biliya and late Mallam Samaila Tsokwa Yakubu, etc who continued with the translation project. Not too long after the General reshuffled the team and brought Rev. Isaiah Jirapye Magaji to lead the translation project.
