There is a tremendous need for Bible translators and support personnel worldwide. Come join us in Papua New Guinea (PNG) for one to two years or more, to discover how God could use you to help the people of Papua New Guinea receive God’s Word in their heart language.

Are you interested in serving in Bible translation, but aren’t quite sure what is the best role for your gifts and interest? Are you willing to be flexible and open to doing tasks that fill pressing needs? Would you like to observe and learn from experienced and more highly trained colleagues on the field while helping them with tasks that free them to do tasks that require their experience and training? As a Language Program Intern with ServeInPNG you will have the opportunity to serve in a variety of responsibilities that will help you to learn what is involved in the different roles involved in a language program. While you are gaining confidence in what you can do from your experience, you’ll be helping to meet some important needs on the field.

After applying and receiving acceptance to membership with Wycliffe and getting the required training as a Language Program Intern, the ServeInPNG Language Program Intern will assist in one or more language related projects. They could assist with a variety of projects that may involve working with nationals and SIL translation teams, involving literacy, Scripture Use, and/or linguistics.*

Participation in language projects will be appropriate to the interests, skills and expertise of the intern in keeping with the needs of the SIL- PNG branch at the time of their arrival. Click here to see some of the possible roles and responsibilities for a ServeInPNG Language Program Intern.
