Having a Bible in your language is vital to understanding it. Trying to read it in a 2nd language is "like trying eat soup with a fork" according to those with no scripture in their language.
That's why Jim and Joy are a part of making Bible translation possible for everyone. They served overseas in Asia-Pacific by managing a guest home for missionary coworkers who travel to and from living deep in the jungle. Now, Jim and Joy have a global impact on the Bible translation movement by using their skills in supply chain management. Jim is the Purchasing and Logistics Director for JAARS, which specializes in Air, Land, and Sea transportation ops and training. At JAARS our mission is to reduce barriers, ease burdens, and deliver Gods word.
Please consider how you might partner in their Wycliffe ministry financially or in prayer, in turn helping make a Bible translation reality for every tongue, every person.

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.
