Librarians work with our branches to maintain a collection of resources to support field personnel. Resources include materials for home schooling, missionary care, and professional resources. Librarians are responsible for keeping the materials organized and accessible, as well as purchasing new materials when necessary, consulting with staff and parents regarding what resources are needed, and maintaining a database of materials. Librarians sometimes keep an archive of branch publications.
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.
