Agency: PIONEER BIBLE TRANSLATORS
The primary task of Pioneer Bible Translators is to translate the Word of God for peoples without Bibles. To accomplish this purpose, they seek to translate Scripture, establish and strengthen congregations, and equip nationals for partnership in the ministry. They desire to promote the unity of all believers, with Scripture as the sole authority. The Willits work among a people group belonging to another major world religion. Through the translation and teaching of the Scriptures, an eventual medical ministry, and an incarnational lifestyle, their desire is to see Christ’s Church raised up among this people group. www.pioneerbible,org
