Role

Exegetical Advisor

Exegetical Advisors work with translation teams to produce a Biblically accurate translation.

Passions:

  •   A deep love of the Word of God
  •   A commitment to the accurate portrayal of God’s message through the Bible
  •   A vision to see the least-reached people of the world transformed by God’s Word

Skills:

  •   In-depth knowledge of the Biblical languages and exegetical principles
  •   Strong communication ability across cultures

Exegetical Advisors help to ensure accuracy and clarity of meaning through comparisons with the original language biblical texts. They might work as a part of one or, sometimes, multiple local translation teams.

Most of our teammates raise support on behalf of Pioneer Bible Translators for their ministry roles. Support raising is not about money — it’s about prayerfully inviting people everywhere to participate in what God is doing to fulfill His mission.

We provide training to help you:

  • Gain confidence in communicating the Biblical foundation for living on support, asking others to invest, and understanding “The God Ask.”
  • Learn best practices and gain confidence in sharing your presentation.
  • Rehearse with your peers and make real calls for appointments.
  • Experience the value of meeting face to face with people and asking for support.
  • Discover how to cultivate lasting relationships with your supporters.

We will work with you to develop a budget based on your ministry role, where you’re going, and your family’s personal needs. Our goal is for you to be adequately funded to maximize the fruitfulness of your ministry and your family.
