Transformation has the best chance when people can read or hear the Bible in a familiar language; understand its message, and respond in faith to God’s offer of new life in Jesus. We work alongside the North Ambrym people of Vanuatu to help them interact with God’s word and apply it to their lives. Our family is focused helping individuals, families and local churches to integrate and better understand the translated Scriptures. Our teammates, the Richards family and Laura T. are primarily responsible for the translation aspect of the ministry.

 We look forward to being involved in:

• Language and culture learning:

  • This will be the first step that the rest of our ministry will be built on. The beginning of our time in Vanuatu will be focused mostly on this foundational process.

• Evangelism

• Literacy development

• One-on-one discipleship

• Discipleship material development

• Teaching ministry

• Leadership training
