Noah and Vicki Lynn Smith
serving with Wycliffe Bible Translators
in Solomon Islands with the Birao people
while also helping them to read, write, and preserve their language and culture.
We serve on the capital island of Solomon Islands, Guadalcanal,
and live in a small village called Buruburu in Kaoka Bay.
Becoming Islanders
Noah and Vicki Lynn are excited to help bring the Bible to people in the Solomon Islands who have never had God's Word in their language! The Solomon Islands are home to seventy local languages, many of which do not have Scripture yet. They are working specifically with the Birao community and mentoring the Longgu team.
The Solomon Islands can be a beautiful and challenging place. God has gifted and prepared the Smiths for this task. They enjoy living in a remote village and bring a deep love for God's Word and for all people. They are building up the Church by providing accessible Scripture. After all, the church must be built on the infallible Word of God.
Please pray for the Smiths, partner financially, and/or send them your questions!
"I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some." 1 Corinthians 9:22
The main purpose of Bible Translation is making the Bible understandable to all;
thus, it is a "means" to salvation, discipleship, and equipping the Church.
(2 Timothy 3ː15-17)

Trees Make a Forest
You can’t have a forest without trees. But a forest is so much more than trees. What makes a forest beautiful is the wildlife and the flowers. The design and variety of creation is amazing. If the trees are lost by fire or timber, the wildlife and the flowers generally go with it. It’s not all about the trees, but you really can't have a forest without them.
A ministry partnership team is similar. You can’t have a partnership team without dollars. But a partnership team is so much more than dollars. What makes a partnership team beautiful is the relationships and common love for ministry. God’s provision of a team and the variety of the team are amazing. If the dollars fall away, the ministry generally falls away also. Want to be part of our forest? It’s a beautiful place; a huge blessing from the Lord!
We may be the faces
of Bible translation,
but we couldn't do it
without all of you
behind us,
seen and unseen.
THANK YOU
