The goals of the project are to 1) make available a fully revised Tok Pisin Bible, in electronic, print and audio form for people to use at home and in church; 2) to produce a modern contemporary Bible version suitable for all age groups; and 3) to ensure that the Bible translation keeps in line with the national standard of the Tok Pisin language.

The revision process began several years ago and, in 2023, the focus will be on drafting and checking the revised Bible text. There will be regional committee reviews and reviews by translation consultants. Training will also be conducted for seven new translators, two coordinating offices will be established, and the Project Administrator and Translation Manager will visit teams in three regions to assess and evaluate performance.

In addition, reading groups will be established in the New Guinea Islands region, to identify any dialectal issues.

The total number of people this project aims to impact is 7 million. In a population of over eight million, almost the entire population speak Tik Pisin (as a first or additional language).  

Once the revision is complete, Christians across PNG will be impacted by their access to a Tok Pisin Bible in contemporary language, which will breathe life, faith, hope and Christian values into their lives.
