We are transitioning from 13 years in language survey and 3 in communications to the role of Director of the organization.

We are Jed and Katie. Our survey team conducted research among 70+ of Papua New Guinea’s
language communities, communicating about and advocating for them.

As Director we provide leadership for translation projects among 124 language communities,
continue to serve the 222+ we’ve translated the New Testament with since 1956,
and look for opportunities among the remainder of the 840 languages,
most of which remain unwritten and without Scripture.

The Director role provides new reasons to invite you to pray, give, and (especially) GO! Of translation organizations globally, ours likely offers the widest range of job opportunities.

Are you a pilot, translator, doctor, trainer, accountant, linguist, or manager looking to use your skills to build God’s Kingdom? These and more roles are needed in Papua New Guinea.


Language survey work continues with team members we trained over the years. Survey provides a great foundation for our work as Director, having given us a broad and intimate experience of the opportunities, challenges, and context of PNG’s language communities.
