At a glance
Who they are
The work
What they do
Punan Ministry currently has five branches of outreach. The first is Bible translation: Bible stories and other biblical resources are being translated into two of the Punan languages, Punan Tubu and Punan Aput, in both audio and written form, for oral learners and analytical literate learners alike, and then distributed among the people. The second is Scripture and village engagement: going into the jungle villages and spending days, and sometimes weeks, living among the people, holding gospel outreach services and handing out the translated Bible stories. The third is biblical teaching materials, a growing library of books, teaching materials, and Bible studies in the Punan languages designed to help people understand God's Word, including an adaptation of The Pilgrim's Progress for the Punan people and their cultural setting. The fourth is sponsoring and discipling Punan young people attending Bible college in the nearby town, who are also mentored in Josh's home. The fifth is providing relief funds for the poor, the sick, and the dying.
Impact
What they report
Scripture is going out in two Punan languages, in audio and in print. Villages across the jungle are being visited and revisited with the gospel. Punan students are in Bible college and being discipled, and relief is reaching the poor, the sick, and the dying. And with open hands, they wait to see what God will do next.
