Neal
and Martha helped to form Pacific Island Ministries (PIM) in 1977
after being with Wycliffe Bible Translators for 18 years and
completing the translation of the Waskuk New Testament. Pacific
Island Ministries is a non-profit organization that sends
missionaries to Papa New Guinea. These missionaries train pastors,
leaders, and Christian elementary teachers and assist locals with
establishing churches and schools. Small villages and hamlets
located in jungle clearings or along rivers often lack basic
education for children. The missionaries aid these villages by
training Christian elementary teachers and providing curriculum.
These teachers often work in remote and arduous areas.
PIM missionaries are also involved in providing health services
which has significantly reduced the infant mortality rate and short
life expectancy of adults. These missionaries provide medical
training for over 80 orderlies who serve in neighboring villages. In
addition to health care services and training missionaries reach out
to villages through technical education in areas of welding,
plumbing, electrical work and small engine repair.
Neal and Martha currently oversee the operation of PIM from
California.
