Dave and Linda Lackey are now retired Wycliffe members having served in various roles during 45 years of ministry. Their initial assignment was in Columbia where Dave was a pilot and aircraft mechanic and eventually the Director of Personnel for the team working there. Linda taught Bible in the MK High School and later prepared translated books and other jobs for printing. After almost 19 years in Colombia they served at Jaars and then remotely in White Salmon WA evaluating the readiness of applicants and guiding new missionaries as they prepared for their first assignment.
Wycliffe will continue to receive and receipt donations from partners interested in assisting the Lackeys in their retirement. These donations will go toward Wycliffe’s retirement pension program.

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.
