In 1981 Tom and Mary began serving in Ghana, where they facilitated the translation of the Anufo New Testament. Local churches are growing, but because of the strong influence of another world religion, pastors and evangelists felt the need for the Old Testament, so Tom and Mary are assisting with the translation of the Old Testament. Since 2006, Tom and Mary have also trained translators and done consultant checking in Nigeria, where over 200 languages still need their own translation. In 2013 Tom and Mary relocated to the USA in order to provide care for Tom’s mother. Thanks to advances in technology, they are still able to provide consultancy services to translators in Ghana and Nigeria. They also make several trips a year to work face-to-face with the translation teams. Please prayerfully consider how you might partner with their Wycliffe ministry through prayer and/or financial support.

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.
