Rondal and Janice Smith

Director of Pioneer Bible Translators Europe

We are working to assist believers in Eastern Europe to be mobilized to recruit, train, send and support workers who will join God’s mission to reach every people group in their mother-tongue with His transforming Word, especially in the Eurasia Area. Currently we are assisting churches and those who want to serve in the Bible translation ministry from Ukraine to prepare and become assigned to a language project especially in the countries of the former Soviet Union of Eurasia.

Rondal also teaches courses in New Testament Greek for Translators to help provide them with skills in the original language of the New Testament. These skills give them the ability to translate and accurately interpret what message the original authors intended as they translate the New Testament into other languages. The second goal is to enable the prospective translator to use the many tools and commentaries available that presuppose a knowledge of Greek as they strive to achieve the goals of accuracy, understandability and naturalness in their translations.

God is graciously offering you a role in this great work: transformed lives through God’s Word in every language.
