Welcome to www.michaelandmeganbarton.com.  This website exists to provide you with information and resources about the ministry of Bible Translation.  We are part of an organization called Pioneer Bible Translators (PBT).  You will find their logo at the bottom of this page (click on the logo below to visit their website).  PBT has the following mission and vision:

Mission: Pioneer Bible Translators exists to disciple the Bible-less, mobilizing God’s people to provide enduring access to God’s Word.

Vision: Transformed lives through God’s Word in every language.

Michael and Megan are currently missionaries in East Africa.  Although 126 languages are spoken in the country we are in, most people speak a bit of Swahili.  PBT is currently translating for 15 of languages and hoping to add more in the near future.  Here are some current prayer requests.

Please pray that God will provide for our support needs.  We still currently have commitments for only 86% (updated 7/12/2010) of our budget.  At this amount we are limited in the things we can accomplish in our ministry.  

Michael and Megan are currently finishing up with training 2010!  This has been a great experience in getting to know our national coworkers a bit better.  It has been a busy schedule so we are anxious to have a little rest.  Please pray we would be able to rest.    

Please pray for the people we will be working with in the EAB.  We are often reminded that it is God who works in the hearts of people and we should try to cooperate with what God is already doing.

Please pray for our physical and spiritual protection.  Michael is currently struggling with hives which is probably the result of transition stress and the rainy season here.  

Look around our site to find out more about PBT or ourselves.  We are happy that you have visited!  Please send us an email with any questions or comments you might have.  You can find our email addresses and other contact information on the contact us page.
