Catherine's Story

The Bible, missions, and a close relationship with Christ have always been integral to my life. Languages and linguistics have also been a deep love since I began to talk, and when I look back, it seems only natural for me to merge these in the service of Bible translation.

While in high school, I overheard a comment which caused me to pray about the possibility daily for two years. However, I didn't make the jump of commitment until one month into my freshman year of college when a series of God-ordained coincidences finally pushed me to recognize the Lord's passion for Bibleless peoples and my ability to do something about it. I haven’t looked back since. (Read more about that occasion here.)

Since graduating from college, my love for the Bibleless peoples of the world has continued to grow, and I am excited about what the Lord has in store for me as a translator in Papua New Guinea!
