It’s easy to ignore the poor, Bible-less people of the world if you haven’t heard their stories.
They seem so far away and many people believe that if they have food, water and shelter
that we’ve done our humanitarian duty. But that’s not enough. There’s a difference
between surviving and really living. Jesus said that “Man does not live on bread
alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Those words
are in the Bible – words that give guidance, give hope, and lead the way to a
purposeful, joyful eternal life that begins when we accept Christ.
Our mission is to take God’s Word to every “tribe, tongue, nation, and language.”
Our goal is to see lives and communities transformed by developing a relationship
with Jesus. To achieve that goal we’ll need a “three cord strand”, which the Bible
says in Ecclesiastes “is not easily broken.”
Those three strands are the people who are willing and able to go to the Bible-less, the prayer
warriors who cover the ministry in prayer, and the financial partners who use their God-given resources
to support the ministry. Every strand is vital. We believe that God is at work even now, preparing the hearts of certain
people to partner with us, just as he prepared us to go. Are you part of the team? Would you like to make a difference in the lives of Bible-less people?
Below you’ll find the different ways to get involved. There is a guide for how to pray for this ministry, and we desperately need your prayers. You’ll also find the various ways to partner with us financially. This is a way to truly leave a legacy for the next generation. Finally, if you feel called to go to the Bible-less people and share the Good News, there is a link to Pioneer Bible Translators where you can get more information.

We have a prayer request. It's one of those off-the-wall requests that might make you chuckle, but try to take me seriously. While we're in Africa we are going to come into contact with lots of bacteria and germs that are foreign to our systems. Things that our bodies don't know how to handle. It's unavoidable. I've been preaching about hand washing and food washing and such. (I'm not a germaphobe, just trying to be safe.) But, we have a little problem. At least 3 of the 4 people in this family habitually chew their nails. I mean all the time, like beavers. The 4th person just nibbles occasionally. Can you imagine what will happen if we constantly have our hands in our mouths in Africa? We'll be perpetually sick! This has got to stop, ideally before we leave the country.
We also pray that you will be strengthened with His glorious power so that you will have all the patience and endurance you need. May you be filled with joy.
(Colossians 1:11, NLT)
Missionaries deal with many of the same stresses you face in life such as overwhelming workloads, relational conflicts and financial uncertainties. Often, however, missionaries struggle with these issues alone, without the fellowship and support of other Christians. Living and working cross-culturally adds an additional element that can challenge their emotional, spiritual and physical vitality.
- Pray that God will provide opportunities for missionaries in lonely areas to spend time with other believers.
- Pray that God will provide times of peace and relaxation to refresh His workers.
- Pray that God will encourage missionaries with the knowledge that people back home care about their emotional well-being.
So we have continued praying for you ever since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you a complete understanding of what He wants to do in your lives, and we ask Him to make you wise with spiritual wisdom” (Colossians 1:9, NLT)
Many missionaries travel frequently, both nationally and internationally. Their mode of transportation varies from country to country and often involves stressful situations.
- Pray for clear guidance from God regarding travel decisions.
- Pray for necessary permissions to travel.
- Pray for protection and provision during their travels.
Pray first that the Lord's message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes. . . (2 Thesslaonians 3:1, NLT)
- Pray that the missionary’s ministry and attitude will be worthy of acceptance.
- Pray that colleagues and fellow believers will be supportive.
Pray, too, that we will be saved from wicked and evil people, for not everyone believes in the Lord. (2 Thessalonians 3:2, NLT)
- Pray that God will keep Christian workers safe from those who seek to hurt them.
- Pray that God will change the hearts of those who are resistant to His Word.
“Finally, dear brothers and sisters, I ask you to pray for us. Pray first that the Lord’s message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes.…” (2 Thessalonians 3:1, NLT)
Obstacles must be removed to allow God’s Word to spread rapidly and freely. Removing obstacles implies resolute resistance in spiritual warfare. Just as Aaron and Hur supported Moses’ arms in the battle against the Amalekites (Exodus 17:12), you can strengthen the arms of missionaries through your prayers.
- Pray for strength and stamina as missionaries encounter antagonistic spiritual forces. (Ephesians 6:10–18)
- Pray that people will resist Satan’s plans to obstruct the spread of the gospel. (James 4:7)
- Pray that God’s Word will indeed spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes.
“Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel" (Ephesians 6:19, NIV).
Missionaries are regular people who fear pain and rejection as much as anyone else. When faced with opposition, they need God’s strength to help them stand firm. Pray that missionaries will have boldness to overcome the fear of embarrassment or failure.
- Pray that the Spirit will provide them with words that communicate effectively in other cultures and languages.
- Pray against evil forces that would seek to hinder the spread of the gospel.
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains” (Colossians 4:2–3, NIV)
- Pray that those who serve will be led by the Holy Spirit and recognize open-door opportunities.
- Pray that God will lead His people past barriers to hearts ready to receive His Word.
