The !Xun are an extremely isolated Bushmen group that have largely been without any Christian witness until recently. They are scattered across Angola, Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Until 2023 the communities of Handa and Cilenge have been coming together with the !Xun speakers in the Huila province of Angola four times a year to collaborate on their respective Bible translations. As of 2023 they continued as stand-alone translation projects.

Pastor Dungodungo said that he and his evangelism team were able to tell some of the Bible narratives in three different communities, at times, to groups of over 100 people. He was very positive about the impact they were having. According to the communities, the fact that the Bible is in their mother languages leads them to know that God loves them and is interested in them personally. This opens the door for the gospel to be presented more effectively in these communities. 

These three language projects have faced various hurdles in the process of getting started with their new phase of translation. There were technical difficulties with the Render software that they need to use for translation, and endless problems getting a visa for an expert to come and fix the software issues. Thankfully, the visa situation has finally been resolved, and consultants have come to the fore to assist these Huila languages. 

Their goal was to translate the book of Genesis by March 2024, but due to the various challenges, the rate of translation has been slow for these three language teams. Fortunately, the bottlenecks in the process have been identified and solutions are being developed.
