On a hot summer morning in June 2016, a group of J girls welcomed an entourage of guests to their village to the sound of beating drums and dancing.

The J language was surveyed to identify the need for Bible translation and language development almost 20 years ago, in 1996.

Witnessing the dedication of the Bantoanon/Asi New Testament with Genesis and Exodus on 6 April 2017, was the best farewell present Heather Kilgour Crossley could have received, as her 35 years in the field came to a close.

Thanks for your patience...
