“I can’t imagine doing what we do without computers. It’s pretty vital.”
– Lisa Kappeler, Bible translator to the Uriay people of Papua New Guinea and translation consultant
How does IT fit into missions?
“I just can’t imagine the amount of time that was spent in making corrections that I do now with one button.”
Technology has transformed Lisa Kappeler’s ministry over her 11 years as a Bible translator among the Uriay people of Papua New Guinea and as a Bible translation consultant.
But it takes IT professionals behind the scenes to allow that “push of a button” to happen.
You, as an IT professional, can help missionaries everyday to:
- Learn a new language more quickly
- Understand a foreign culture
- Translate the Bible faster and accurately
- Produce Bible curriculum
- Develop literacy materials
- Communicate with consultants
- Equip the church
You can use your IT skills in missions in Canada or overseas as Security and Compliance Administrators, Data and Intelligence Analysts, Network and Systems Engineers, Hardware and Software Technicians, Software Programmers and Developers and Training Specialists and End-User Support.
Lisa concludes, “I can’t imagine doing what we do without computers. It’s pretty vital.”

Church PlanterUpon arrival in PNG church planters begin with study of the national trade language and PNG culture, orientation to the wider team and ministries and specific equipping for the PNG context. Keeping interdependence with the existing PNG National Church in mind, church planters will then form teams, move into ministry locations, and begin building relationships as students of the local culture and language. After reaching proficiency in a specific culture and language, the ongoing work toward church maturity is begun in earnest. In most cases the church planting team is involved in creating a literacy program and training local teachers. Church planters will also produce a systematic Bible curriculum and translate Old Testament portions and the New Testament into the local language. While performing those tasks, the work of the church planter is to live out the truths and are being taught, by word and deed discipling new believers toward maturity and training up leaders for the local church. |
