Josh and Katie Eicholtz have been serving with Wycliffe and JAARS* since 2012. They are excited about the mission of seeing God's Word, in every language, in every life. Since 2015, they have been serving in Papua New Guinea (PNG) where there are over 840 language groups. Josh has served as an instructor pilot and manager. Katie has served in a variety of roles both in the home and with staff care.
In June 2024, they relocated to the USA for a two year medical leave. During these two years, Josh is working part-time at JAARS in Waxhaw, NC where he will be training new missionary pilots and mechanics. Josh is also working on his Masters of Divinity degree with an anticipated graduation date of May 2026. This degree will help Josh both in his training role now at JAARS, but also with future ministry opportunities.
Even though they are temporarily "off the field," they still need the prayer and financial partnership of people like you as they go through this time of transition. They also want to be ready to respond to whatever ministry opportunity the Lord will open up for them in the future.
Together let’s help bring God's Word to every language and every life.

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.
