Steve and Trina have served with Wycliffe since 1976, in the countries of Brazil, Senegal, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau, Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, São Tomé and Príncipe, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They have served in field leadership, field translation programs, and program starts for mother tongue translation teams. Steve has earned an MA in Sociolinguistics, and together they have also conducted many sociolinguistics surveys, and contributed to many language entries in the Ethnologue. Hence, Wycliffe has asked them to join the Ethnologue staff. The Ethnologue is a regular mission publication that actively investigates, tracks, catalogues, and maps information on all the languages of the world, including their status in relation to Bible Translation–www.ethnologue.com. It has become the primary authoritative source of information on the world’s languages for mission, government, development, and academic organizations. We invite you to join their Wycliffe ministry team with prayer and financial partnership as they contribute to this vital ministry.

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.
