Jonathan and Susan Kopf

New Tribes Mission
Papua New Guinea

Jonathan and Susan have been living with the Hewa tribal people of central Papua New Guinea since 1999. First, they had to learn the Hewa culture and language, along with their team members, Keith & Angie Copley. Then, they started in Genesis and worked their way through the Bible with their Hewa friends. We praise God with the Kopfs that in late 2005, the Hewa church was born!

Since that time, Jonathan and Susan have continued to teach, disciple the believers, and translate the New Testament into the Hewa language. They also provide simple medical training, literacy education, and support for the Hewa believers as they themselves take the Kingdom to other Hewa villages. The Kopfs’ passion is to do everything possible to assist the new Hewa church toward reaching maturity in their faith in Jesus.
