At the
beginning of the year, 32 new Wycliffe members attended a training course here
at the Ukarumpa centre to prepare them for life and work in Papua New Guinea
(PNG).
Andrew and I enjoyed being part of a 'support worker panel' where the students on the course asked questions to those of us who have been supporting Bible Translation here.
I'm currently meeting with each of these new workers on behalf of the Staff Care department. I'm enjoying getting to know them and hearing about their experiences during these first few months in the country.
It is
wonderful to see how God continues to provide for all our needs. We are
deeply grateful for a church that has been a partner in our work since I first
came to PNG, and sent their final gift to Wycliffe earlier this year. In
the same month, a different church gave us the opportunity to share about our
work; we are excited that this has led to a new partnership. We are so
thankful for this provision.

The United Nations has declared 2019 to be the
'International Year of Indigenous Languages'.
At our organisation's recent biennial conference, we felt inspired after hearing from our International Executive Director, Dr. Michel Kenmonge, who shared his experience of growing up with a Cameroonian indigenous language as his mother tongue. Watch this video to hear some of his story and to join us in celebrating the world's 7097 languages: |
