The Amatlan Zapotecs want the whole Bible. They are translating the Old Testament. Dave is acting as project manager and consultant. He is also helping other teams in Mexico who are translating in his role as a translation consultant.

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.
