During 2018, we increased the number of active language projects from 84 to 85. Twenty one new churches were reported and 42 discipleship study groups. We drafted 38,594 verses of Scripture, exegetically checked 27,075 and published 23,448 verses for the first time. During 2018, we continued building a new capacity for sign language translation worldwide. Finally, we note that in the 42 year history of Pioneer Bible, our teams have drafted about 749,000 verses of the Bible, the equivalent number of verses as 94 New Testaments. We have published 3 complete Bibles and 18 New Testaments. 780262 27697 19211 Recruitment - Recruiting new missionaries is key to the mission of Pioneer Bible Translators. The organization had 55 new recruits in 2018. PBT held 33 recruitment events at colleges, churches and other conferences around the U.S. Through those events, about 3,000 people became aware of the need for Bible Translation and the role PBT plays within this global need. About 85 of these are serious inquirers.Training - Training new and current missionaries is an integral part of Pioneer Bible's mission. In 2018, personal and professional coaching was provided to at least 138 individuals preparing for cross-cultural work. A ministry 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 163 people during the year: Discovery, Discovery Intensive (2), Partnership Development Bootcamp (2), Bush Mechanics and Electronics, Continuing Education Seminar, Primary Health Care (2), Finance Seminar, and the Parents of Missionaries Workshop. 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 73 children. In 2018, 35 missionaries completed training and began their first assignment. 417589 6296 Missionary Care - The Care department served the missionaries in numerous ways in 2018. There were dozens of re-entry contacts and pastoral care debriefs with returning missionaries. To provide encouragement and spiritual nurture, our Care Team served to be the catalyst of care. Over 3000 written contacts and hundreds of calls were made to this end. The Care Department provided leadership for several major events - 2 different Five-Day Prayer and Fasting events, Training of about 30 individuals in the USA and abroad in our Roots of Care curriculum, a Parents of Missionaries Seminar, 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 every hour of every day. Daily prayer times and weekly chapel services also continued along with spiritual retreats held in many of our fields. 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 for teams currently serving overseas. One full-time and 3 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. 10413274 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 34 0 1 226 1 0 1 PP NH GV TZ UG 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 21 16 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 X 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 Janet Hayes Part Year Secretary, Board Member 2.00 X X 5702 0 1698 Greg Pruett President, Board Member 40.00 X X 9000 0 42535 Pat Magness Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bridget Schnautz Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Wes Whitley Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Bill Bourland 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 Mike Armstrong Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Coldewey Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jerry Chubb Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Ott Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Phillip Kemp Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Yancy Fariss Bd Member/Branch Rep 40.00 X 40000 0 964 Eunice Herchenroeder Bd Member/Branch Rep 40.00 X 23500 0 0 Emily Hewitt Bd Member/Branch Rep 40.00 X 8400 0 7712 Yancey Yarick Bd Member/Branch Rep 40.00 X 13500 0 0 Jeff Wilhoit Executive Vice President 40.00 X 30150 0 49195 Jack Straus Chief Legal Officer 40.00 X 81595 0 5690 Clint Stringer Chief Financial Officer 40.00 X 66144 0 0 Michael Scott Graves Personnel Officer 40.00 X 40450 0 29400 Rich Sheeley Mobilization & Development 40.00 X 84300 0 5413 402741 0 142607 0 0 0 0 Novel Builders LLC 600 Sherman St Suite 124 Richardson TX 75081 Construction Services 172253 1 28397 14110364 4927 14138761 Program fees 900099 89948 89948 89948 38480 38480 87662 100519 -12857 -12857 -12857 796835 7564 796835 0 0 7564 7564 7564 30860 28397 16377 14483 14483 2685 0 2685 2685 Admin Fees 900099 16686 16686 5779 5779 22465 14301529 89948 0 72820 25000 25000 1800 1800 535007 535007 539312 264871 173138 101303 188118 178706 9412 7103634 5527983 983985 591666 792895 677422 70688 44785 464866 334604 87543 42719 18262 1974 16288 29800 29800 24000 24000 256584 175359 75907 5318 60929 60929 378527 278004 62584 37939 292011 139473 136347 16191 241265 164901 76364 1617816 1389991 42954 184871 173059 142352 15338 15369 345959 304837 20561 20561 15998 10739 5259 Professional Develop. 162908 150032 5760 7116 Maintenance, Equipment 20572 20572 Hospitality 14473 12749 1048 676 Other Taxes 634 634 77942 76264 1678 13381371 10413274 1805242 1162855 X 967231 610230 168838 188163 X 4293082 4528964 2540325 467293 134399 70732 124826 185860 8442358 2879925 5738071 5562433 2756074 12830703 13571356 381122 240233 210061 172737 591183 412970 X 6425837 6426010 5813683 6732376 12239520 13158386 12830703 13571356 920158 -1292 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 10441426 11475395 12733337 13001880 14138761 61790799 10441426 11475395 12733337 13001880 14138761 61790799 61790799 100406 80282 97388 92882 126142 497100 1520 10401 865 13573 36639 62998 62350897 423952 0.99100 0.99060 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Special FR Event Revenue - 2014 Amount: $ 1,520. 2015 Amount: $ 10,401. 2016 Amount: $ 865. 2017 Amount: $ 6,995. 2018 Amount: $ 30,860.
