Jerry Robertson was one of the first people I meet when I first came to Africa as a 6 year-old boy in 1986. Jerry and Carol’s kids Becky and Everette were my age and I loved playing with them whenever we went to Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
The Robertsons have been missionaries for 30 years – 30 YEARS! What a commitment! The last 9 years of their lives have been dedicated to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the Nafana people of northeastern Cote d’Ivoire. I wrote last month about the translation process the Robertsons go through. I also recorded an audio interview with Jerry in which he talks more about the process of learning & translating the Nafana language.
