Ed and Catherine McGuckin, 

       Wycliffe Bible Translators

Ed and Catherine are heavily involved in translating the Bible into the native language (Gapapaiwa) of a society in Menapi, Papua New Guinea. The translation group (SIL – the Summer Institute of Linguistics) is working in about 200 languages in the country of PNG.  Most of these languages, including Gapapaiwa, had never been written before they began their work with them. And, in most cases no outsider had ever learned the language.
