Papua New Guinea (PNG), a small island north of Australia, is home to nearly 850 languages, making it the most linguistically diverse place on earth. In the 1960’s, Don and Carol Richardson risked their lives to share the gospel with the Sawi people of PNG. The Peace Child book and movie told their unforgettable story of living among these headhunting cannibals who valued treachery, fattening victims with friendship before the slaughter. In fact, they initially viewed Judas as a hero since he betrayed Jesus. Over time, the Richardsons learned the language, devised a writing system, taught the Sawi to read, and translated the entire New Testament. Eventually, half of the Sawi gave their lives to Christ as a result of having God’s word in their mother tongue.
