ESL Teacher needed for PNG Bible Translators

God is at work and is raising up Papua New Guineans who want to help translate the Bible into their own language, a wonderful answer to prayer!  A major obstacle for some of them is that they don't know enough English to be able to attend training courses and read all the translation helps and commentaries in English. 

Would you consider using your training to come alongside these men and women to increase their knowledge and understanding of English and encourage them along in their studies?

What qualities are we looking for?

1. A genuine respect for other cultures, a desire to learn from and share one’s knowledge and a real sense of equality as partners in the work.
2. Skills in cross-cultural inter-personal relationships and communication.
3. Good verbal and written English language skills.
4. Competence in Tok Pisin - training provided.

Requirements:

ESL certification and experience
Some SIL classes
Willingness to look to the Lord to provide for their needs through the partnership of individuals and churches that pray and give financially to Wycliffe in support of their ministries.

Most likely you will be based at Ukarumpa but you might travel to one of our 8 regional centers.

Email Wendy for more information.
