Pioneer Bible Translators exists to disciple the Bibleless, mobilizing God’s people to provide enduring access to God’s Word. Our vision is to see transformed lives through God's Word in every language.
Jeff and Laura Wilhoit worked alongside the Toma people of Guinea, West Africa and completed a translation of the whole Bible in the Toma language. They partnered with Faith Comes By Hearing to produce a dramatized audio Toma New Testament. The Wilhoits continue to serve as advisors for the Toma in Scripture Impact and literacy. They are working with other people groups to use the Toma Bible as a base for Bible translations in related languages. Laura is a translation consultant for teams translating the Bible in other languages.
Jeff serves as Executive Vice President, Chief Operations Officer, and Global Security Advisor. His primary responsibility is implementing the vision and strategies of Pioneer Bible Translators. Jeff’s many roles include providing leadership to the IT and support services departments, developing partnerships with other organizations to accelerate the task of Bible translation, providing security advice and training for teammates, and overseeing construction of a new building on Pioneer Bible’s Dallas campus, from which the next generation of Bible translators is being recruited, trained, and sent to start and finish 300 translation projects by 2050.
