The Translator’s Training Course (TTC) is a 4-module course that provides training in translation principles, Bible background, study skills and language discovery. Participants attend as a team representing their language/tokples. Each team is assisted by a mentor. Teams of Papua New Guineans work together on Scripture translation. Each team needs to have at least two participants from the language community and a mentor who is able to be there in the course and provide on-going support between courses. Pacific Institute of Languages, Arts & Translation (PILAT) coordinates the course and it is held in Ukarumpa, PNG. TTC is finishing this current session. Pray for the teachers and students as they learn valuable skills. Pray that they can go back to their villages and complete the assigned tasks needed to advance to the next course.
