For over twenty years we have had a small part in bringing God’s word to people who previously had no access to scriptures in their own language. Currently we are ministering with the Nend people of Papua New Guinea while also serving as the Pioneer Bible Translator’s Regional Area Director for the Asia/Pacific area. This web site is designed to introduce you to our ministry and the people among whom we work.
