Regional Centres play a vital role in the Bible translation efforts
in PNG!
We were very encouraged and blessed by the regional centre that we used as we went in and out of the village. Not only did we have a comfortable place to sleep but the centre managers encouraged us and offered their support through shopping, transportation and weekly conversations on the radio. I really can't imagine doing the work without their help.
Due to the importance of the regional offices for the work in each region, keeping these centres up and running is critical. If there isn't anyone available to serve as a manager in any of the 8 regional centres, Bible translators are often asked to fill in until someone else can take over the duties.
Each Regional Centre has an office, a home for the centre manager and family, a workshop meeting room and several fully furnished duplexes for guests and workshop participants.We were very encouraged and blessed by the regional centre that we used as we went in and out of the village.
