Lindsay and his amazing wife, Lola, have been serving in the prayer space with Wycliffe Bible Translators Australia and SIL Pacific since 2019. From 2021, they have also been serving with Pray For Zero Pacific. Lindsay worked in economics research for over 20 years before the Holy Spirit gave him an insight into God’s grief for those without God’s Word. Then in 2019, Lindsay and Lola were convicted that the Church needed targeted prayer to reach each language group with God’s Word. This is their calling. Lindsay and Lola have three daughters. They currently live in Melbourne, Australia.

Lola is from Papua New Guinea. English is her main language, but she also grew up speaking Roro, her mother’s language and Sinagoro, her father’s language, as well as Tok Pisin and Motu. Lola began her work life as a medical lab scientist, before training teachers in Port Moresby’s settlements in 2009-12. She was teaching English to refugees when the Lord called her into the work of Bible translation. Lola joined Wycliffe Australia and SIL Pacific in 2019. She serves with Lindsay as a prayer facilitator for the Pacific and as Wycliffe Australia’s prayer coordinator. In 2020, she was appointed by PNG BTA as their ambassador in Melbourne.

Hendrik Van Aswegen is the prayer coordinator for The Word for the World, an organization committed to equip local communities around the world to translate the Bible into their own language. “Our vision is to see transformed lives by the power of God’s Word in everyone’s heart language. Prayer is the foundation of this vision, aligning our hearts with the Lord and uniting us as we carry out His Mission.” With a passion for mobilizing the church to pray for bible translation, he has set a goal to mobilize 1000 churches to join in this important effort. Hendrik’s deep commitment to this cause is rooted in his belief that every person deserves access to God’s Word, no matter their language or location.

Tina Hopkins is a passionate follower of Jesus Christ. This love relationship is the foundation of her life and out of that flows a love and light that impacts every person she meets. People are immediately drawn to Tina’s cheerful, magnetic personality that exudes the love of Jesus.

She is a relationship builder and lives out the words Jesus spoke about people knowing we’re His disciples by how we love. She sees every person as the imago Dei, an image bearer of God Himself. Her life purpose is seeing people set free by understanding their true identity in Christ. She fully believes a person can discover who they are and whose they are through the pages of Scripture. This is why she cherishes God’s Word from the bottom of her heart. Zephaniah 3:17 is one of her favorite verses which states in part “the Lord will rejoice over you with loud singing” and Tina wants others to know that same truth. She often says it is the Word of the living God that sustained her through her darkest days and continues to sustain her. The power and freedom revealed to her as she has hidden Scripture in her heart is what drives her passion, prayers, and calling for every person to have the Bible in their heart language. When she answered the call to ministry to serve in Bible translation, she knew without a doubt this was what God had been preparing her for. Tina says God lit a fire in her bones for His Word and it’s now her hope that others will catch that same fire.

As the Pray for Zero Journal Manager at Seed Company, Rebecca Gorman connects praying people with the real-time needs of Bible translators around the world.
