During 2019, we increased the number of active language projects from 85 to 97. Fifty-two churches and study groups were reported. We drafted 73,051 verses of Scripture, exegetically checked 49,167 and published 6,062 verses for the first time. During 2019, we continued building a new capacity for sign language translation worldwide. Finally, we note that in the 43 year history of Pioneer Bible, our teams have drafted about 828,159 verses of the Bible, the equivalent number of verses as 104 New Testaments--9 of which were drafted in 2019. We have published 3 complete Bibles and 16 New Testaments. 815336 11690 35304 Recruitment--Recruiting new missionaries is key to the mission of Pioneer Bible Translators. The organization had 56 new missionary recruits and held 34 events. Through these events, around 2,500 people became familiar with the ministry of Pioneer Bible Translators. Around 95 of these are serious inquirers.Training - Training new and current missionaries is an integral part of Pioneer Bible's mission. In 2019, personal and professional coaching was provided to at least 161 individuals preparing for cross-cultural work. A program practicum and planning course was offered in both the fall and the spring, and weekly chapel services were conducted throughout the year. The following workshops and seminars were also provided, training over 211 people during the year: Discovery, Discovery Intensive(2), Partnership Development Bootcamp(2), Continuing Education Seminar, Primary Health Care Course, and a Finance Seminar. Ongoing training activities continued daily with new representatives and associates. There was also a focus on training children of missionaries, including a week-long summer programming teaching 98 children. In 2019, 25 missionaries completed training and began their first assignment. 450167 1370 10794 Missionary Care - The Care department served the missionaries in numerous ways in 2019. There were dozens of re-entry contacts and pastoral care debriefs with missionaries returning for home assignments and long-term resettlement. To provide encouragement and spiritual nurture, our Care Team served to be the catalyst of care. This endeavor included thousands of emails, social media exchanges, and teleconferences. The Care Department provided leadership for several major events - 2 different Five-Day Prayer and Fasting events, training of about 60 individuals in the USA and abroad in our Roots of Care curriculum, two Parents of Missionaries Seminars, two Missionary Send-off Celebrations, and a Discovery Week Prayer Team. A Fasting and Prayer emphasis was continued through the year so that at least one person was fasting and praying each day of the year. The 24/7 prayer initiative was able to have at least one person in prayer nearly every hour of every day. Daily prayer times and weekly chapel services also continued along with spiritual retreats held in many of our fields as well as for the women at serving at our headquarters. Hundreds of hospitality meals and nights of lodging were provided for our missionaries around the globe. Team dynamics seminars were held for interns, teams preparing to go to the field, and teams currently serving overseas. One full-time and two part-time counselors served the needs of people preparing for or serving in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. The Care department also facilitated a culture of care by encouraging several individuals and teams to travel to fields in order to provide spiritual nurture, encouragement, and direction to field missionaries and their children. A strong emphasis was also placed on the care of young and teenage missionary kids preparing for the field, living overseas, and moving back to the home countries of their parents. 11071805 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 X 35 0 1 221 1 0 1 PP NH GV TZ UG 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 21 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X X Clint Stringer 2146994300 7255 W Camp Wisdom Road Dallas TX 75236 Jeff Wilhoit Executive Vice President 40.00 X 57700 0 55195 Rich Sheeley Mobilization & Development 40.00 X 86820 0 6572 Jack Straus Chief Legal Officer 40.00 X 84036 0 6572 Clint Stringer Chief Financial Officer 40.00 X 75000 0 1500 Michael Scott Graves Personnel Officer 40.00 X 40765 0 31200 Michael Barton Bd Member/Branch Rep 2.00 X 54836 0 11376 Greg Pruett President, Board Member 40.00 X X 13000 0 43915 Bryan Harrison Bd Member/Branch Rep 40.00 X 38978 0 17376 Kyle VonRueden Bd Member/Branch Rep 40.00 X 28000 0 11376 Yancy Fariss Bd Member/Branch Rep 40.00 X 36100 0 0 Eunice Herchenroeder Bd Member/Branch Rep 40.00 X 29950 0 0 David Butts Chairman 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike Chambers Vice Chairman 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Dick Jorgensen Treasurer, Board Member 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike Armstrong Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Bourland Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jerry Chubb Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Coldewey Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Hank Daughtry Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Ewald Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Doyle Jennings Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Susan Jennings Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Phillip Kemp Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Pat Magness Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Ott Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bridget Schnautz Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 545185 0 185082 0 0 0 0 Class Act Consultants 7691 State Hwy 198 Ste A Canton TX 75103 Travel Booking 156795 1 140225 16775113 18927 16915338 Program fees 900099 65056 65056 65056 103617 103617 86332 165805 -79473 -79473 -79473 822287 9540 822287 -13246 0 22786 22786 22786 87290 140225 51741 35549 35549 Admin Fees 900099 63884 63884 2178 2178 66062 17128935 65056 0 148541 36757 36757 702178 702178 731578 311151 288284 132143 178562 148239 7780 22543 7412558 5890789 907332 614437 3001 2138 750 113 809357 685802 75346 48209 504359 371992 83533 48834 13318 9038 4280 32388 842 31546 34923 34923 273211 196726 71252 5233 57554 5755 51799 419888 302188 83374 34326 309003 152154 137161 19688 198662 123481 75176 5 1731353 1500123 66184 165046 178405 148222 23316 6867 347797 304528 20681 22588 29022 5518 23504 Professional Develop. 173668 145575 19684 8409 Hospitality 18755 13683 4744 328 Maintenance, Equipment 15198 14926 272 14211495 11071805 1924199 1215491 X 770527 571524 51493 147510 4528964 3075372 467293 3386173 1612728 70732 28082 185860 219791 8291061 2986955 5562433 5304106 2756074 2837254 13571356 16463506 240233 180474 172737 191851 412970 372325 X 6426010 6925937 6732376 9165244 13158386 16091181 13571356 16463506 2917440 15355 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 11475395 12733337 13001880 14138761 16915338 68264711 11475395 12733337 13001880 14138761 16915338 68264711 1049506 67215205 80282 97388 92882 126142 189949 586643 10401 865 13573 36639 153351 214829 69066183 389313 0.97320 0.99100 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Special FR Event Revenue - 2015 Amount: $ 10,401. 2016 Amount: $ 865. 2017 Amount: $ 6,995. 2018 Amount: $ 30,860. 2019 Amount: $ 87,290.
