Communities in Papua New Guinea are now receiving the Bible in their own languages for the first time all thanks to innovations that are speeding up the work of Bible translators. This exciting new era means that Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) Technologies can help organizations like Wycliffe Associates by updating software and apps on their computers and mobile phones that translators use in their work. According to MAF Technologies Ministry Partnership Officer, Caine Ruruk, so far MAF Technologies has supplied over four hundred translation kits to Wycliffe translation teams across the country, allowing them to translate various local language Bibles. “Basically, for MAF Technologies, we are helping in fast tracking the process of Bible Translations by lending hands to the Bible translators through supplying appropriate Technology for National Translators or (TNTs) for efficient and accurate Bible translations.” MAF Technologies, based in Goroka, is known to be the Asia Pacific region's sole media center that sells audio Bible device. MAF Technologies has Bible programs that are already translated into multiple heart languages as audio versions. With the initiative, many people who only speak local languages, are blessed to listen to God's word. The audio Bibles also reach people who are unable to read. In addition, Thompson Luke, a spokesman from the Kenain village in the Simbai area of Madang Province said that the initiative has enabled many older people who do not understand English and Tok Pisin to hear the word of God in their own language via audio Bibles. “Even though many of our elderly individuals are illiterate, they are fortunate to hear God's word through translations of our native Kalam language via audio Bibles. And we see that it has strengthened their faith as they listen to and meditate on God's word daily.” Meanwhile, Wycliffe Associates Highlands Regional Coordinator, Misson Ayabe, in a report revealed that seven translation projects in PNG were successfully completed in a considerably faster and shorter period of time with the help of technology. “One of the notable achievements is the completion of our Tok Pisin Unlocked Literal Bible (ULB) version project and its completion as a gateway language serves as a pivotal source text for ongoing and subsequent mother tongue translation projects in PNG.” “Working under the guidance and authority of local churches, Bible translation organizations such as Papua New Guinea Bible Translation Association (PNGBTA), Summer Institute of Linguistics International (SIL) and Wycliffe Associates liaise with MAF Technologies to create a pathway for the gospel to reach thousands of lives. " Furthermore, through the use of modern technologies, the work of translating the Bible into PNG's many heart languages is being completed at a faster pace.
