A 2 Slices of Papua New Guinea Life

Abstract

I was part of a LAMP seminar with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Wewak, Papua New Guinea in 1984 led by Betty Sue and Tom Brewster. At that point, 25 years into our work with Wycliffe, I wondered what we were to do next. Our two daughters were grown and on their own, we had completed the Awa New Testament, and all that had been my purpose in life was changing. After the Wewak seminar I was asked to write about our language learning experience with the Awas for Brewster’s 1985, Community is My Language Classroom. I titled the article “Communicating the Gospel—With a Burning Nose”
