Wycliffe members do not receive a guaranteed salary, so they look to their Heavenly Father to provide partners (individuals and churches) to meet their living and ministry expenses. Please consider becoming a prayer and/or financial partner with them in their ministry with Wycliffe and the Bibleless peoples of the world.

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.
