ROBBIE CASTLEMAN - John Brown University  |

and his wife, Nancy, served as linguists and Bible translators among the
Duna people in the highlands of Papua, New Guinea. Before beginning Bible
translation work the Cochranes learned the language of the Duna people.
They then created an alphabet for this previously unwritten language,
did grammar analysis and compiled a Duna-English dictionary. After they
prepared literacy materials many of the Duna people learned to read and
write in their own language.
Finally it was Dennis' joy to give the Dunas the first portions of God's
Word translated into their language. A church was born as several thousand
of these people came to know Christ. Today dozens of congregations meet
regularly in thatch-roofed chapels to worship the Lord and study His Word
in their language. |
