Jim and April first became members of Wycliffe in 1996 and have served in SE Asia since 1998. They have been involved in both language research and Bible translation activities over the years. Jim and April know that it takes a team to do this work as they have been involved in various roles from language learning, children's education, English teaching, project planning, administration and consulting over the years.
Jim now serves as a bridge between the various countries where Bible Translation is taking place and the global leaders and partners who guide and support this work. It is vital to know what languages have projects and which ones are still waiting for translation, literacy or scripture engagement to start. He directs a team of people that map language communities and make sure that no language group is missed or forgotten.
Jim and April love being a part of God's Kingdom, working together with people from many backgrounds and organizations to serve others in the name of Jesus and to see them have access to God's Word. By God's grace they have been a part of many new languages receiving scriptures of their own and are looking forward to the day when all the language groups of the World will have clear access to God's Word in their own heart language.
Please prayerfully consider investing in Bible translation by becoming a prayer and financial partner in their Wycliffe ministry.

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.
