Another special event

Wednesday, November 19, 2008

Monday was the opening of the general meeting of the Solomon Islands Bible Translation and Literacy Partnership - a fellowship of our national Bible Translators. Twenty translators from around the country are gathered for this event.

The Prime Minister, Dr. Derek Sikua came for the opening which was a great honor. In this photo, Tim is showing the Prime Minister the new piece of property that our group was recently able to purchase with the help of Wycliffe Associates for the building of a new training center for our national translators.

A Bible for the Royals

Monday, August 4, 2008


This afternoon we attended the garden party for the Duke and Duchess. We even got a chance to very briefly chat with the Duchess. Later we attended a special church service where the Duke was given a Pijin Bible as a gift by the Governor General.

We are greatly encouraged that church and government leaders recognize the importance of the Pijin Bible.





The Duke and Duchess seemed genuinely interested in the Pijin Bible.






Later the General Secretary of the Solomon Islands Christian Association read a letter from Buckingham Palace with a congratulatory message from the Queen.
