About the Author: Alan Robert Pence and his wife began training and service with Wycliffe Bible Translators and SIL International in 1956. Following their arrival in Papua, New Guinea in 1959, they worked with the Kunimaipa (Hajili) Language Group as linguists and translators. In their five-year assignment, the author learned to speak Kunimaipa, analyzed the grammar, compiled a dictionary, researched and got approval for an alphabet, and translated an abridged form of the book of Genesis. He received a master’s in linguistics from UCLA, was elected director of the Papua New Guinea Branch of SIL International and later became vice president for international operations. He was director for language and translation work among North American Indians for eight years, worked as vice president for the Asia region, and served SIL until 1999. The couple now lives in Evergreen, Colorado.
