Don has served with Wycliffe since 1978. He and his wife Gretchen (now deceased) completed a New Testament and several easy-to-read books for the variety of Cakchiquel spoken in Santa María de Jesús, Sacatepéquez in Guatemala. They were also involved in providing electricity for a few neighborhoods and improving the water supply for the whole town. They returned to the US in 2005. Don’s current ministry is writing help for Paratext, a computer program designed to help Bible translators input, edit, check, and publish Scripture. With thousands of translators using Paratext, Don’s work is speeding up Bible translation around the world. Please prayerfully consider investing in Bible translation by becoming a prayer and/or financial partner in Don’s Wycliffe ministry.

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.
