Beth Acton and Joy Ayabe
Wycliffe Bible Translators in Papua New Guinea
Beth Acton and Joy Ayabe have served in a number of roles in Papua New Guinea over the past 27 years as translators, literacy workers, administrators and trainers. They are currently involved in training Papua New Guinean men and women to work within their own vernacular languages as literacy workers and trainers. Crucial to the task of providing Scriptures in the heart languages of the people, is ensuring that there is a ‘readership’ ready for those Scriptures when they are produced. Beth and Joy have completed the New Testament translation of the Bible for the tribe that they lived with in Papua New Guinea.
Socorro Pejendino
C.P. Church Planter in Guatemala City
Socorro have been sent to Guatemala City by the Cumberland Presbyterian denomination to plant churches in this area. On a recent mission trip to Guatemala, a group from our church worked with them to build a children’s classroom in a home church. They also helped a family in the community whose home was badly damaged in a recent mudslide. They removed mud that was several feet deep using only small buckets to carry the mud from the house.
