The Tiemeyer family serves in Southeast Asia. Joel is in the process of writing his Independent Study project as the final part of the Master's Degree in Linguistics at Payap University in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He is doing research comparing the sound systems of different dialects of a language that spans multiple countries in Southeast Asia. They hope that this project could lead into a Bible translation project after he graduates. This would be an adaptation from one of the other dialects that are being compared in Joel's research study that already has some Scripture in their language.
Tanya will be studying the national language. She hopes to help with teaching literacy as Scripture is translated so that people have access to the written Word.
Anastasia is 6 years old and in Kindergarten, while Solomon is 4. Please consider partnering with the Tiemeyer family's Wycliffe ministry in Southeast Asia, supporting the work of Bible translation.

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.
