Overview
The rugged mountains of Papua New Guinea (PNG) are home to numerous language groups, with many communities living in remote and difficult-to-reach areas. Most people depend on the land for their livelihoods, and access to healthcare and education is limited.
A majority of people in PNG identify as Christian, but most have had few opportunities for clear biblical teaching. Communities face significant ongoing challenges, including trauma, family and community conflict, and a cultural tradition of retribution. People are eager for more biblical teaching and training, and often express a deep hunger for God’s Word.
Scripture engagement is essential for people to learn the truth of the gospel and apply it to their lives.
Your partnership is key
Your partnership helps equip people in Papua New Guinea to encounter God through His Word and understand and apply Scripture to their lives. Your support helps strengthen churches to reach their communities through gospel-centered, culturally relevant biblical teaching, and enables pastors in the same region to encourage one another as they grow in their teaching and outreach.
When translated Scripture is available and used in workshops, community support for Bible translation increases. Communities continue to reap the benefits from this training long after the workshops conclude.
