Tyler and Emily in PNG

So what is happening in Papua New Guinea (PNG), today?

Pioneer Bible Translators here in PNG are in the midst of a building project for national translators. The need for housing is high and often there is ‘no room in the inn’ for our national translators. Almost every week, there is a team of national translators that come to town to work on their vernacular translation. Checking, consulting, back translations, etc are always happening. On Monday the Mborena Kam team went back to their village and today, Tuesday, the Akukem team is here for the next three weeks doing checking on the book of Matthew. All the men who leave their villages and come to town, need a place to stay. The current housing is ran down, out of date, small, and located in an unsafe neighborhood.

This past May, PBT broke ground for a two story building to house our national translators. The planned two‐story building provides:
– 10 sleeping rooms, each accommodating two people
– 2 efficiency apartments to accommodate couples
– Kitchen
– Dining hall that will also serve as work room and classroom

The total cost of this project is $276,000 USD. As a branch we have prayerfully consider this project and fully believe and trust God that he will provide all the necessary funds and items needed to complete this project.

This is a very exciting project for the branch. It is a real encouragement to our national translators and inspiring to them, that the branch is building them a new housing complex. Please join us in praying for this project and God will bless this housing project for the advancement of the Kingdom here in PNG.
