There are 70 million people whose primary and best understood language is one of over 350 sign languages, and 98% are without access to the Scriptures in a language they can understand.
Juan & Audrey Parra are attending the Global Sign Languages Team training in Bogota, Colombia. While there they will be living, learning and observing the Colombian culture and language (spoken and signed) and will be able to explore different long term roles working alongside Deaf Bible translation teams.
After completing the training program Juan & Audrey will take on roles to support local sign language projects. They are excited to work with God, and local Deaf teams in order to reach more Deaf communities with God’s Word.

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.
