The translation work among the Apal people was led by Martha Wade, who began serving with Pioneer Bible Translators among the Apal community in 1985, working with mother-tongue translators to produce Scripture and literacy materials in the Apal language. ^[1] The completed Apal Scriptures were presented to the Museum of the Bible by PBT president Greg Pruett. ^[2] The Apal people live in small villages in the tropical rainforest of Papua New Guinea’s Madang Province.
