Aug ’14 – John and Katie lead the language survey team in Papua New Guinea (PNG). With 838 languages in PNG, much exploratory survey remains to be done, along with assisting ongoing translation projects with research. Our surveys take place in the remote villages of PNG, usually reached on foot after a plane, helicopter, or boat ride. We determine the location of a language community, discover whether the language is vital (will it be taught to successive generations?), find out if it needs a Bible translation, and if so, what approach to use. Thank you for your prayers and for being part of this ministry!

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.
