    Wycliffe International

  • Language Survey

    What happens on a language survey trip

    Shane of Wycliffe Australia talks about why he works for Wycliffe Bible Translators and takes us on a language survey trip to Vanuatu, just down the island chain east of Papua New Guinea. If you want to know what John will be doing, this is the video to watch.

  • Why Bible Translation is Needed

    Neil Anderson

    A veteran PNG translator gives a stirring message from outside his home for the last few decades: a narrow ridge in the Highlands. Why all of us are involved in getting the message out there, and why Bible translation is born out of Jesus' command to go.

  • Papua New Guinea

    A colourful variety of people

    Hear some traditional music, see some traditional dancing, find out what the flag looks like and see just how much variety there is in the faces, culture and landscape of PNG.
