Who is Marilyn Laszlo?
Marilyn Laszlo was born in Valparaiso, Indiana, as the eldest of four daughters of
Martin and Lois Laszlo. Marilyn grew up on a small farm. As a young girl, while plowing the
fields of her parent's farm, she made a commitment to be a missionary. She graduated from Bryan College,
Tennessee, which also recently awarded her a Doctorate of Letters (May 2003). Marilyn studied
linguistics at the University of Oklahoma and then kept her commitment to God by serving with
Wycliffe Bible Translators. She traveled to Papua New Guinea, with a translation partner, to
Hauna Village, home of the Sepik Iwam people. Marilyn, her sister Shirley, and their language
helpers took an unwritten language and created an alphabet and reading books, and taught the
people to read and write. Marilyn and Shirley did medical work, and trained indigenous people
to operate a local school, store, and clinic. Now, a boat staffed by Sepik Iwam Christians shares
the Gospel and offers medical work along the river. Marilyn's video "Return to Hauna" won the Angel Award in 1999.
