There is an urgent need for more local leaders on translation projects throughout the Pacific region, particularly in Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. ‘Capacity Building in the Pacific’ is a project designed to increase leadership and management skills of local translators, and to create sustainable funding options for ongoing language projects. It is hoped that the project will become self-sufficient within the next five years, but it will require significant funds to get all of this set up. We are hoping to raise enough funds to support this project for at least two years.

Would you like to be a part of building initiatives and providing training to support Bible translation in the Pacific for many years to come?

Jesus Film: Scripture Use (SU) workers have been trained and they are having an effective ministry showing the Jesus Film from village to village in four languages. They are also using other Bible films where a translation is available. In response to a translation request from Jesus Film Ministries, discipleship study segment titles (60 of each) were translated in three languages.

Listening Groups: SU workers have distributed 250 NT Proclaimers and Bible study question cards in four languages. They are training listening group leaders in village churches and have done follow-up visits.

Family Bible Storybooks: SU workers have distributed 300 Family Bible Storybooks in six languages. SU workers have been trained to train ministry leaders and Sunday School teachers in how to use the Family Bible Storybooks for lessons.

Printing: Pijin Bible Reading Class books were printed to teach Pijin literacy to students at the AOG National Bible College. A Kwara’ae Language Songbook was compiled and printed. Listening group Bible study question cards were printed and laminated in five languages.
