Getting God’s word to everyone in the language they understand best is what inspired John and Sharon to join Wycliffe—John in 1987, Sharon in 1996.
John develops computer programs to help translators reach this goal. The programs help from the first steps of learning and analyzing the language through the translation work itself all the way to publication both in print and on the internet. He also helps train and lead other developers.
His main current project is Bloom, a program to help people with limited computer skills easily create literacy materials for their own minority language groups. Becoming skilled readers helps people in many ways, including reading Scripture.
Sharon supports John in this work and also has responsibilities connected with the care of her elderly mother.
Please consider partnering with them in their Wycliffe ministry to help get God’s word to everyone.

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.
