Project Ezra Team

Greetings from Project Ezra!
Praise God for this opportunity to share with you about Project Ezra.
Let me mention this in the very beginning that Project Ezra is not a organization but an informal team of Brethren committed to give Bible Study tools and texts books to the serious students of God’s Word in Hindi language.  We work for the Lord to help His people understand the Word of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that people could understand what they read (Neh. 8:8). This is done through Translation and Publication ministry. To share about Project Ezra means to share about the work that God has done through the team and to share about the contribution or role of members of this team.
Beginning
To begin with let me share with you How all it began.
Project Ezra began with the prayer and concern for the Hindi Speaking people. Dr. Johnson C. Philip, Bro. Shalu T. Nainan and Bro. Rabbi John pioneered the work to translate Ryrie Study Bible in Hindi


Development
In second stage Bro. Sam Siju Philip coordinated the work of the Study Bible. This was the time when God expanded the Project Ezra Team and brought other like minded servants of God together: Dr Matthew Varghese and Dr. Babu Varghese guided as translation consultants. Meanwhile the translation of Basic Theology was also being done simultaneously.
Bro. Roy T Daniel and Bro. Babu Thomas made themselves available so that lack of funds may not hinder the progress of the Work.
All the brethren mentioned above are committee members of Project Ezra Team. All the major decisions are being taken by Project Ezra Committee. However the members of the Project Ezra have their individual ministries with Brethren Assembly and are free to help any one in the areas of their expertise.
In the final stage of both the books Bro. Atulya Prashant Masih coordinated the work. Bro. V. K panday, Bro Harbhushan Ravana and Bro. Nishant Sidh helped him in the final editing of the work.
Bro Roy T Daniel took up the responsibility of Printing this Study Bible in Best quality.  We are previleged to have Bro. Roy T Daniel of Operation Barnabas as one of the members of Project Ezra Committee having a good experience in the area of printing and publishing even in Japan and Canada. Operation Barnabas, Bangalore takes the responsibility to publish the books for us. 
Project Ezra Today
In order to maintain a proper system thus to carry out the work meaningfully, We have a small office in Rajnandgaon (Chhattisgarh) in India. 
We are working to promote Hindi literature and the Bibles in an affordable rate among the Hindi Speaking Christians.
We also help other Christian organizations and individuals by translating their materials from English to Hindi. A complete one volume Bible commentary ‘Believer’s Bible Commentary’ written by William MacDonald is our first priority to be translated in Hindi. The work is on progress and by the Grace of God the NT volume one from Matthew to John has been published. Project Ezra has also translated and published That's a Good Question and Alone in Majesty Written by Brother William Macdonald. Two other books Here's the Difference and Heaven Written by the same author have been translated and are in the press. We need yours prayers and support to continue the ministry of Project Ezra.
