Beth Merrill has been a member of Wycliffe Bible Translators since August 1993. She has been working in the valley of Oaxaca, Mexico, since May of 1996 - that's nearly 30 years!
The translation team currently has finished the rough draft of the New Testament in their language, and it will probably take about another five or ten years or so to finish revising the first draft and polishing it for publication. Please pray for them, especially for wisdom and discernment so that the translation will sound natural and clear, and truly communicate what it ought to say.
The Luke video was released about 15 years ago, and can be found on www.scriptureearth.org.
Please let Beth know you visited here (beth_merrill at sil.org), and feel free to contact her for more updated information. Since 2020, Beth has been living in Atlanta and working with the team remotely.

Wycliffe Ministry Budget
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.
