Ben and Mandy represent Wycliffe Bible Translators in Papua New Guinea. They have two sons, Josiah and Noah and a daughter Elena. They are joining a team there who field-testing a new team approach to translation. By combining several language groups together, the lengthy process of translating the Bible is hoped to progress at much quicker pace. This group is called the Aitape West Translation Project (AWTP) and will be the focus of their ministry. They have moved into the tribal area and begun interaction with the Onnele people, the translation project that Ben will be supervising. So far the adjustment has gone well for the family, but continue to pray as this is a long-term process of outreach and translation.
