Papua New Guinea – Hanna Schulz – LCA International Mission

About Hanna Schulz

Hanna Schulz has been working as a Bible translation advisor in Papua New Guinea since 2012 and with the Kope translation project since 2015. Together with the Kope team they have dedicated Luke and are drafting Acts, as well as working on literacy materials, a dictionary and Bible teaching.
In 2021 she became team leader for the Gulf Delta Cluster Project, which is working with multiple language communities in the delta area of Gulf Province by providing training in Oral Bible Storytelling (OBS), vernacular literacy and Scripture Use.
Hanna also helps to manage the Oroi’io Madei (Living Word) Training Centre in Ubuo village.

Hanna grew up in Morley (WA), graduated from high school in Naracoorte (SA), and after 27 years as a member of Ferryden Park congregation (SA), St Pauls Box Hill (Vic) is now her sending congregation. Before moving into translation work, she worked in youth development on tall ships, eventually serving as first mate on STV One and All. Sailing, sewing, writing, making bean-to-bar chocolate, learning, community living, and spending quality time with family and friends are some of her joys.

Hanna Schulz is serving in linguistics and translation in Papua New Guinea.
