Douglas and Jennings support Bible translation in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Douglas leads a Strategic Research Team. They help language groups make informed decisions about how to develop their language by collecting linguistic data, and they do follow-up research to assess the impact of translation and literacy projects. Jennings is a translation consultant, working with teams who are translating the Bible into their own languages. This involves helping to train translators and meeting with them to go through their work verse by verse, preparing it for publication.
Their group works together with Congolese church denominations and with a local Christian university, Shalom University of Bunia, which has a degree program in Bible translation. Douglas and Jennings both regularly teach courses there.
Thank you for praying and considering whether God would have you partner with them in this work.

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.
