About
Our team (our family, along with our teammates Benjamin & Missy Hatton) ministers among the Amdu people located in the mountains of the Sandaun province of western Papua New Guinea. By God's grace, we endeavor to learn their tribal language, teach the people to read and write in their own language, be involved in translating the Bible and then teach the people what the Bible says. *** Now that we are finished with formal language and culture study, our team focus has shifted to literacy and Bible translation. Two literacy classes have already graduated, and the first portions of God’s Word in the Amdu language have been consultant checked and approved!! Following short times of Home Assignment in the U.S. in 2018, our team will continue to work on Bible translation and lessons in preparation for beginning the Creation to Christ Bible teaching sometime in mid-2019. ***
