The work

What they do

Larry runs multiple ongoing Bible translation and language projects across three Indonesian regions. He works on translation into Bahasa Indonesia through the Honey Bee Oral Bible Translation project, records Bible stories in languages that have no Scripture at all, and volunteers teaching English and translation to tribal youth. He frames the whole ministry around the Indonesian word secukupnya, meaning enough, describing how God has provided every step of the way.

Impact

What they report

Multiple simultaneous translation projects, oral Scripture recordings in bibleless languages, and a pipeline of trained tribal youth moving into ministry.

How you can help

What they need

Tuition funding for STT Sehati students, dormitory space for applicants who cannot be housed, and expansion of training to other islands.
