P & J in Tamale
Hello! We are Philip and Judy Hewer. We live in Thame, Oxfordshire, UK and we are members of Wycliffe Bible Translators. For a lot of our life we have lived in Ghana among the Kasena people. We facilitated the translation of the New Testament of the Bible into Kasem (that’s the language), as well as initiating adult literacy classes to help those who had not had a chance of going to school.
In 1988 the Kasem New Testament was published, and later reprinted. Right now there is a team of pastors working in Ghana on translation of the Old Testament in to Kasem. Philip works from home on checking their translation for accuracy and clarity of communication. He visits Ghana a couple of times a year to work with the translators face-to-face, going through suggested changes.
See the Kasem and Kasem OT pages for more details and updates.
LOVE the picture!!
