Dedication Video

A New Testament dedication is the culmination of many years of work in which the translated Word is dedicated to God and presented to the public. Our coworker Susan Frey made a wonderful video of the main Enga New Testament dedication in Wabag, capturing not only the ceremonies of the day but also the history of the project and the future hopes of the translators. Martha and I were both moved by how Susan captured the essence of the Enga New Testament project in one short video, and it is our pleasure to share it with you all. Thank you so much for partnering with us to make the completed Enga New Testament a reality.

Critical Need for Teachers
The Ukarumpa International School (UIS) that Bella and Asher attend has a critical need for teachers during the 2025-2026 school year and beyond. The high school needs teachers for English, Social Studies, Math, Religion, Art, Science, and Spanish as well as for electives like Photography. UIS has small class sizes, and the students are well behaved and do their homework. It is an extremely different experience than teaching in the United States. Living in Ukarumpa is like living in a small town or village. There are about 200 other expats here. It is a great place for a teacher who is retired or who no longer wants to teach in the US school system but would still love to teach and make a difference. There is still so much work to be done, and the school is an integral part of making sure that work continues. Please pray for this need and share this information with anyone you know who might be interested in teaching for a year or two to support Bible translation in the beautiful country of Papua New Guinea. Feel free to ask us any questions, and be sure to check out the following links for more information. (Please note that Ukarumpa International School is affiliated with TeachBeyond.)
