Johnny and Ellen Walker currently live in Kigali, Rwanda, where they have been since 2021. Their primary work is with the Mara Cluster Project based in Musoma, Tanzania. They have been with the project since 2008. This project works with 8 languages in the areas of linguistics, literacy, Bible translation, and Scripture engagement. Johnny's specialty is dictionary development, working with language communities to record their languages in useful and practical ways. Dictionaries are also of great use to the work of translation. Ellen has been involved in the work of literacy, but in 2019 shifted to focus on the care and schooling of their 4 daughters.

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.
