This book contains a translation of the New Testament in the Yawu dialect of the Yessan-Mayo language. The Yawu dialect is spoken by approximately 750 people who live north of the Sepik River in the Ambunti District of the East Sepik Province of Papua New Guinea. We give thanks to God for the many prayers and gifts of His people which have helped produced this book. In particular we thank Him for the people of Canada who have graciously underwritten the cost of its production. This book is dedicated to our God and to His glory.
