What do Music and the Arts have to do with Bible translation? Mary has had the joy of exploring that question while serving with Wycliffe in Burkina Faso. During her years there, from 1993 to 2019, she worked with local musicians in Burkina Faso and surrounding countries, helping them craft Biblically-based songs, using local music styles, instruments and dance.
Before returning to the US, Mary also worked with a group of Burkinabe musicians to create a soundtrack to be used with Scripture projects in West Africa.
Looking forward, Mary plans to join the Arts team in Dallas at CEWA (Center for Excellence in World Arts) using her skills in teaching, media, and the Arts to train and equip others. Please prayerfully consider partnering with Mary's Wycliffe ministry through your prayers and financial gifts.

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.
