STEP

Over the past few weeks there has been a STEP course going on here at Ukarumpa. (STEP stands for Strengthening Tokples [vernacular] Education in Papua New Guinea.) So Papua New Guineans from all over the country have come for about 4 weeks to learn how to train teachers in their langauge area. On Thursday, during a morning in prayer, we spent some time worshiping and praying with the participants. Here's a (very low quality) clip of a Tok Pisin worship song. I'll post the words and translation tomorrow - when I've asked someone about a few phrases I'm not sure about :)


There have been 12 STEP courses since 1994, when STEP started. In this intake there are something like 15 languages represented.
