12/23/2009: Managers and Mentors for Papua New Guinea

Most of you know the background. Papua New Guinea (PNG) currently has Bible translation in progress in around 250 languages and still has over 300 languages without one verse of scripture. This amount of Bible translation involves over 400 families. That sounds like a lot of people, and it is, but within this team there is an urgent need for experienced managers for areas that are providing vital support to the translation teams.

Management mentor – Managers serving in the community store, shipping department, auto shop, print shop, housing department, construction department, and children’s home are asking for someone to mentor them in order to improve their management effectiveness.

Aviation business manager – The aviation operation in PNG provides access to over 300 remote communities for Bible translation teams. The aviation team needs an experienced manager to maximize the effectiveness of the pilots, mechanics, and aircraft serving in this challenging operational environment.

Airstrip manager – Managing the maintenance and safety for over 300 airstrips throughout PNG is vital to keeping these communities accessible for Bible translation.

Center manager – The city of Madang, located on the north coast of PNG, is a vital regional center for Bible translation support. An experienced manager is needed for office administration, supervision of national staff, purchasing supplies for translation teams, and operation of a guest house.

Investing your business management experience for Bible translation in PNG would be a tremendous blessing to these families and communities they serve. You may not have considered that God has been equipping you through your business experience to have a significant impact on Bible translation!
