Established in 1976 by Faculty at Lincoln Christian College, we are now located in Duncanville, TX on the South side of Dallas along I-20. The word “Pioneer” reflects our commitment to translating the Bible and planting churches among the world’s least-reached people groups. Our primary focus is on the most challenging language groups — those who are marginalized, those who live in hard-to-access places, and those who are Deaf.

The goal of Pioneer Bible Translators isn’t just translation, but transformation. We bring people to Jesus through Bible translation and church planting, combined with discipleship, incarnational ministry, and the use of translated Scripture.
Because we specialize in both Bible translation and church planting, Pioneer Bible Translators is uniquely positioned to reach language groups who still have no church and no Scripture. Our goal is transformed lives by sustained access to Scripture in mother-tongue languages.
We recruit, equip, train, and send linguists, administrative support personnel, and care teams into over 3 dozen different countries to share God’s word, demonstrate living for Jesus, and assuring the development of self-replicating churches.
