The Church has published the triple combination of the scriptures in Lingala. Lingala is a Bantu language primarily spoken in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the Northern Republic of the Congo, Angola, Central African Republic, Kenya, and the Southern South Sudan. Lingala is widely used in these areas and serves as a lingua franca. It has around 20 million native speakers and an additional 20 million second-language speakers.

This new edition contains the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, the Pearl of Great Price, a helpful study aid titled Guide to the Scriptures, and other study aids.

Printed copies will be available in coming months, through local Church distribution centers. The electronic versions of the scriptures are now available on ChurchofJesusChrist.org and the Gospel Library mobile app.

The Church has also published a new edition of the Book of Mormon in Lingala, which now includes footnotes and the Guide to the Scriptures.

The Church encourages members to obtain their own copies of the scriptures and to use them in regular personal and family study and in Church meetings and assignments. As members prayerfully learn and teach from the scriptures, their testimonies will grow and they will receive greater direction in their daily lives.
