This is a summary of the capstone project, The Prospects of Bible Translation in the Ijebu Dialect for Motivating Christian Discipleship. The study used surveys and observations with 25 participants to compare their motivation to read and share Scripture before and after exposure to Bible portions in the Ijebu dialect. The findings show that engagement and willingness to share increased significantly when Scripture was presented in their heart language, highlighting the strong potential of Bible translation to motivate discipleship among Ijebu speakers.
