Called by Grace, Led by Grace (2023)
by Kwan Poh San
​
Called by God to serve in missions, Poh San and her teammate, Liisa, translated the New Testament for the Mauwake people of Papua New Guinea. They were adopted into a village family and fondly known as "those two" while living among the Mauwake for over 20 years. Poh San shares candidly about the joys and challenges of living and working cross-culturally, not just with the Mauwake, but also the many other nationalities on the field.
After 45 years of ministry with Wycliffe Bible Translators, she testifies that she was truly Called by Grace, Led by Grace.
