Melissa is delighted to be part of bringing the Bible to the Bibleless. She felt a call to live and work outside the USA in her final year of college and didn’t know what that would look like but hoped to go to Asia. After college, she completed a seminary degree and taught English in Peru, Nepal, and China, learning some of the national language of each country as she went. Through those experiences she discovered a love of linguistics and a growing desire to be a part of Bible translation and to see people’s lives transformed through the Bible.
Melissa began linguistics studies in 2017 and joined Wycliffe Bible Translators a year later. She now serves in West Asia as a Linguistics and Translation worker.
Please consider how you might partner with Melissa in her Wycliffe ministry financially or in prayer.

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.
