It’s really all about the people.

During my first visit to this team in Nigeria, I noticed that the land between buildings on the center was being cultivated. It turned out that some of the Bible translation team members, including the Executive Director, had planted a garden to feed their families because they had worked for months without salary.

As my heart was breaking from the deplorable conditions of the dormitory, the afternoon training session dismissed, and the translators danced and sang their way down the slope to their rooms.

Despite these and many other obstacles, the Nigeria Bible Translation Trust is making tremendous progress in speeding God’s Word to nearly a hundred Nigerian languages. Nigeria Bible Translation Trust

Since those early days, we’ve helped these dear brothers and sisters in Christ overcome many limitations and increase their resources for ministry. Their humility and sacrifice is inspiring. It makes us want to do everything we can to help them.

Our immediate need is for a Program Manager to give leadership to our local team and support for our strategic partners. A quick survey of the news reveals that life and ministry in Nigeria is challenging—but few things of value are easy. We are looking for an individual or couple who are interested in investing their lives in making a difference in eternity for the people of Nigeria.

We need someone who is excited about working as part of an international team, with a commitment to working in partnership, a creative problem solver, with proven leadership experience. But in addition to professional abilities, we need someone who is available.

If you or someone you know would like to learn more about this opportunity to serve Bible translation in Nigeria, just email us or call Judy Yon toll-free at 1-800-THE WORD (800-843-9673). Judy can give you more details regarding the job, the qualifications required, and connect you with our Nigeria team members.

With nearly 300 languages in Nigeria still without one verse of Scripture, we are praying and trusting that God has prepared someone precisely to respond to this opportunity and serve Him.

Thank you for helping us spread the Word!
