Pol Bible Translation Advisor – Cameroon
This Pol Bible Translation Advisor will work to create and maintain Gospel relationships with Pol men and women. To do this, they will need to move into the Pol community and learn their language and culture. This will lead to opportunities to evangelize the Pol, disciple new believers, and raise up Pol church leaders. The Bible Translation advisor will also come alongside the Pol community to aid in Bible translation work.
The Pol is an unreached group that primarily follows an animistic traditional religion. As such, ministry among the Pol is considered pioneering and will require an independent and perseverant spirit.
