Welcome to the ApMa Project

We are the Pryor's, missionaries to the Ap Ma people in the Angoram district of the East Sepik Province in Papua New Guinea. We came to PNG in Feb of 2004 to supplement a work begun by Jesse's parents John and Bonita Pryor. They have served the people faithfully in this area for 26 years working to translate the New Testement to the Ap Ma language. Though the translation work continues we have come to aid in the area of literacy training and church growth. We are currently working on construction projects to give the people a church/literacy center and classroom space. We are also working within the church to strengthen programs that were dying such as the women's study group and the Sunday School program. Feel free to look around and find out more!
