Papua New Guinea
Mr. Minjuku Yasima, a local tribal leader, went to Olgebeng and requested missionaries to come to Yaramanda. LCMS missionaries settled at Yaramanda in Enga Province in 1948. The first missionary was Rev. H. Freund from Australia who was followed by Rev. Dr. Otto Hintze from the U.S. Today the Gutnius Lutheran Church (GLC) totals 138,000 members. It supports two seminaries: Timothy Lutheran Seminary at Birip, Enga Province, and Martin Luther Seminary at Lae. Rev. John Fehrmann first went there in 1957 with his missionary parents.
The Rev. Dr. Willard Burce served in New Guinea most of his ministry and currently is doing translations in the Enga and Pisin languages.
