Immerse yourself in the heart of Bible translation in Papua New Guinea! During this internship, you will delve into one of the most linguistically diverse places on the planet. Over the course of the summer, you will get to observe and participate in the foundational stages of a new Bible translation project and then engage with a consultant team who are doing the final checking of Scripture so that the people this translation represents will have God’s Word in the language moms yell at their kids in.
During this summer, you will contribute to essential data entry, and gain language skills through life-on-life interactions in a village context and through building relationships with our veteran Bible translators. You will get to support the team’s progress every step of the way and experience the beauty and challenges of village life, while engaging in hands-on language learning. Be part of transformative Scripture Impact efforts, both in a remote village and a bustling town. This is an opportunity to make a lasting difference and, if you’re passionate about linguistics, participate in rapid word collection that helps bring God’s Word to new communities.
