Bible translators are aided in their work by computers. However, the multitude of alphabets in the world do pose technical challenges. The problem might just be two or three letters that are not in our English alphabet, or it may be that an alphabet looks and acts very differently from ours. (These are often called non-Roman scripts.) Alan works with a team that creates software and fonts to solve these problems (see software.sil.org/wstech/).
Through prayer, training, and resources (www.tckcare-ed.org), Lynée's team supports families and teachers in educating missionary children overseas.

Wycliffe establishes a Ministry Budget for its members to reflect recurring expenses related to family factors and their geographic location of service. Giving to Wycliffe directly impacts members' ability to begin and remain in their assignment.
This monthly budget covers ministry-related expenses, insurance and retirement, social security and taxes, and Wycliffe administrative costs. The remainder is what the members receive as "take-home pay" for their daily living expenses.
