About
When one Bariai church leader in Papua New Guinea was asked about reading the Bible in a local trade language, he said it was like eating watermelon. It was tasty, but it soon left him hungry again. When he read the Bible in his own language, it was like taro (a favorite root crop). It filled him up, leaving him satisfied and giving him strength for the day.

Follow the journey of the Bariai people and see how they went from Scripture that was like watermelon to a translated New Testament that gives them complete satisfaction. Steve and Carol Jean Gallagher, the translation advisers to the Bariai people, will share the process of Bible translation from start to finish, as well as their own journey of seeing the Lord’s goodness and provision across the years.
