Cornerstone is privileged to have Marsha Relyea coming on Wednesday, April 22nd at 7pm. Marsha is a powerful speaker has has spoke at Cornerstone in the past. Below is her professional bio:
Marsha (Relyea) Miles is a missionary with Pioneer Bible Translators. Together with her late husband John Relyea, she has served as a Bible translator for the Aruamu people group in Papua New Guinea for 23 years. The Relyeas lived in an Aruamu village, analyzed and created an alphabet for this previously unwritten language, and worked together with local leaders to develop an extensive literacy and scripture-use program, and completed the translation of the New Testament into the Aruamu language.
Marsha served as President of the 2007 National Missionary Convention. She currently serves as Director of Church Mobilization and Development with PBT and is based in Dallas, TX. Marsha is married to Nathan Miles of the United Bible Societies. She holds a Bachelor of Theology from Ozark Christian College and an MA in Linguistics from the University of Texas at Arlington. She is still involved with the Aruamu Old Testament project, exegetically checking the translation.
God has given Marsha a passionate heart for world missions, and a very compelling story to tell, drawn from front-line mission experience, sitting in the dirt in steamy jungles sharing with people about the Lord and translating the scriptures for them. Her inspiring challenge to mission involvement comes through with bold eloquence.
