Navigating a maze of ruts on a narrow dirt track. Crossing fast-flowing rivers fed by more than ten feet of rain a year—without a bridge. Scaling mountain heights on a precarious trail little more than a footpath.

An episode of The Amazing Race? No—it is the day-to-day reality for those in remote areas in the East Papua region of Papua New Guinea. Our Bible translation partner there, BTA Alotau, needs a 4WD vehicle to minister to the needs of more than 15 language programs, including delivering personnel and supplies to where they are needed most.

Would you consider a gift? Thank you.
