Paula works in Papua New Guinea in the Urim language Bible translation project with Pirkko Luoma, who is working remotely from Finland. Paula serves in several roles: project manager, promoting the use of the Urim Scriptures, and assisting the Urim literacy supervisors.
The Urim New Testament was dedicated on Sept. 10, '25. Please pray for the Urim people to continue to be eager to purchase their New Testament, and that God's words of truth and life will make an eternal impact on individual lives as well as transforming Urim communities. Two Scripture Use courses were held after the dedication, to help with using the new book, as well as basic Bible study tools.
Some goals of the project that are about to get into the hands of the Urim people are:
- Urim "Mark" film (LUMO),
- Urim Scripture slide sets,
- Urim New Testament Scripture app,
- easy-reading Urim literacy books--for reading fluency,
- Urim Reading app, making all Urim books available for phones,
- revision of the tri-lingual Picture Dictionary, and a
- reprint of the Urim Christian Song Book.
You are invited to become a prayer or financial partner in Paula's ministry with Wycliffe.

Wycliffe Ministry Budget
Wycliffe establishes a Ministry Budget for its members to reflect recurring expenses related to family factors and their geographic location of service. Giving to Wycliffe directly impacts members' ability to begin and remain in their assignment.
This monthly budget covers ministry-related expenses, insurance and retirement, social security and taxes, and Wycliffe administrative costs. The remainder is what the members receive as "take-home pay" for their daily living expenses.
