“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 NIV The Peace Child In the 1960‘s, missionaries Don and Carol Richardson endeavored for years to translate the Bible into the language of the Sawi people of New Guinea, as they struggled to make the sacrificial story of Jesus relevant to them.
