Jim is currently a Translation Consultant with Seed Company, an affiliate of Wycliffe Bible Translators. He travels internationally, mostly in Francophone Africa, working with Bible translation teams – training translators and consultant checking translations of mother tongue Scriptures for accuracy and clarity prior to publication.
Jim & Petey have served Bible translation programs having spent over 20 years in West Africa. With rich experiences in linguistic research and literacy they also facilitated the formation and training of a team of national translators who completed translation of the Oniyan New Testament and Genesis, dedicated in 2017. Jim has also had roles in field leadership and language project management and training for Senegal, The Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau.
Now based in South Carolina, Jim and Petey are thankful for the opportunity to continue to be part of what God is doing through His people in bringing the message of reconciliation to those still waiting. They would be greatly encouraged if you join their Wycliffe ministry team through prayer and/or financial partnership, providing essential resources in this great task.

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.
