Angie and her husband Peter are members of Wycliffe Malaysia based in Papua, Indonesia. Their journey to Indonesia began in 2004, where they worked with a people group in the central highlands of Papua. In 2011, Angie became a translation consultant, and subsequently took on the responsibility as SIL Asia BT Coordination team facilitator in 2016. She has been involved in the training and development of translation consultants in SIL Asia’s Translation Consultant Development Workshop (TCDW) programme since 2013.

Angie’s love for the Word of God, worship music, and writing resulted in the publishing of a devotional book, “Lyrical Contemplations from the End of the Earth” in 2019. Angie and Peter have three children who are busy living the “adulting” life in different parts of the world.

Abstract
Why is translation quality so important? Isn’t it because we want to share the Good News with others? And in order for this Good News to be shared effectively and successfully, there needs to be integrity in the quality of the translated Scripture. But what constitutes success?Â
Pastor and theologian Timothy Keller pointed out that when our Lord returned to heaven, He did not leave behind a book, but a community. A community of believers is both the result of, and a vital part of the gospel declaration. How we live together and relate to one other can either validate or invalidate the Good News we have worked so hard to produce in the heart language of a people group. As such, quality translated Scriptures need quality communities.
