Peter (from Germany) and Robin (from the USA) met while studying linguistics in Dallas to prepare for a ministry of Bible Translation. They have been working with Wycliffe Bible Translators for over 30 years, and have two adult sons, Joshua (27) and Joel (24).
The New Testament in the language of their first assignment in Eurasia was published in 2010.
In 2012, they moved to Guam to work with the Mwoakilloa people of Pohnpei to get the Bible translated into their language. Although the Mwoakilloa have known the gospel for more than 150 years and have an indigenous church, they have never had Scriptures published in their own language. Peter also works as a consultant in the neighboring Pingelap project, a related language, and assists with 5 additional projects in Micronesia administered by their organization.
Peter and Robin also teach at Pacific Islands University, promoting Bible Translation as a ministry to students from various Pacific languages.
Please consider how you might partner with them in their 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.
