The Paynes began their work with Wycliffe in 2001 in Peru, doing Bible translation and helping to develop oral Bible stories for the Asheninka people. They later spent two years on the island of St. Vincent in the West Indies developing a set of Bible stories in the Creole language spoken there. Nathan is currently serving as the International Storying and Orality Coordinator. He oversees the training and consulting for many of OneStory Bible storying projects happening throughout the world. Nathan does most of his work through email and phone, but travels about 12 weeks out of the year to lead trainings and consult for teams doing Bible stories.

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.
