Ave atque vale: John Brawand
Filed Under Ave atque vale, Bible, Missions
Wycliffe Bible Translators informed us today that John Brawand, 84, entered the Savior’s presence on 18 June. FPC Kosciusko has supported John and his wife Alice for many years. The Brawands went to Guatemala in 1961 to translate the Scriptures for the Rabinal Achi people. Before leaving Guatemala in 1973, they reduced the Rabinal Achi language to writing, taught many to read their own language for the first time, and translated a number of the books of the New Testament. Over the next quarter century John served a number of important administrative roles for Wycliffe. Alice anticipates going to Guatemala son to assist the translation team in the final stages of publication of the New Testament.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for those who serve him with faithfulness, zeal and joy, making glad tidings known to “other sheep.”
