Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Andy spent 20 years working as a Bible translator in Papua New Guinea with Wycliffe Bible Translators. During his overseas years he learned the language and culture of the Amanab people from the people themselves and then proceeded with translation and literacy work. During this time Andy acquired an MA in linguistics, a Doctor of Ministry in Missiology and became a senior translation consultant. Andy designed and began the linguistics program at Moody Bible Institute. He had the privilege to teach there for 3 years. He has also taught at the University of North Dakota and at a seminary in Tonga (near Fiji and Tahiti). In November 2001 the translation of the Amanab New Testament was completed and handed over to the local church. In his last two years in Papua New Guinea, Andy was the Director for Language Affairs, overseeing almost 200 Bible translation programs for that country. Over the next decade Andy was an international administrator serving as the Language Program Services Director for the SIL Pacific Area helping develop strategy for about 20% of the world’s remaining translation needs. His work included overseeing about 20 academic and technical domains ranging from Linguistics to electronic distribution of translated Scriptures. Presently, Andy is part of Wycliffe Bible Translator’s National Speaker’s bureau speaking at churches, colleges, conferences, and other venues.
