Jonas Joe NIYONKUR
I was born in in Congo to Burundian parents. At age 9 I moved to Burundi and after secondary school had the opportunity to study at an English school for 6 years during which time, I supported myself as a Taxi driver. In 2011, I graduated with a certificate of translation from Youth for Christ English school.
In 2004 I had become a Christian and after my graduation I supported different missionary teams from around the world as a translator, guide and driver. In 2012 I joined YWAM Burundi and completed my DTS in 2013 and continued to work with YWAM as a translator until 2019. Following this I spent time working with a Hope and Light Initiative in Congo rescuing orphans out of prostitution. This work became very dangerous, and the organisation was forced to withdraw.
I am grateful to God for the opportunity to speak 4 languages fluently and for the many opportunities I have had to translate for foreign speakers at churches, conferences, in tourism and in crusades.
My personal interests are playing the guitar, bass guitar, drums and leading worship and studying Burundian church History.

I studied English at two international language centers between 2011-14 which was a dream come true for me as I only started my formal education at age 12 because of poverty. I also speak Kirundi and French.
In 2011 I started to work as a church translator, and have enjoyed immensely the opportunities to translate for various missions groups including Teen Challenge, World Harvest, and others both in Bujumbura and upcountry.
