Project Milne Bay

Esta página no está actualmente disponible en Español.

Read "Sing me a story" and you'll see that with God's help, many good recordings have been made in the languages of the Milne Bay Province of PNG. However, just making recordings does not communicate the Gospel! Those recordings need to be put into the hands of the local people.

The aim of Project Milne Bay is to provide recordings and Bible picture materials for sale and distribution in the Dawawa, Kanasi and other language groups in the area. To send cassettes, picture materials and hand wind cassette players for the Dawawa people will cost A$3,124 and for the Kanasi A$1,242. See details below. Distribution in other languages will cost similar amounts.

Would you like to help communicate God's word to the people of Milne Bay Province? You can contact us for more information, or go straight to the online donations page to make a contribution.
