Stan and Patty are serving as translators with the Bwaidoka people of Papua New Guinea. They are delighted to be working with the Bwaidoka people, who have a keen desire to have God's Word in their own language. Three Bwaidoka men have been trained in translation, and a committee of 25-30 men and women are committed to the task. A New Testament dedication is planned for 2018. After many years of needing to work remotely from California, the door has now opened for Stan and Patty to return to PNG to serve the Bwaidoka people face to face. They are trusting God to provide them with the needed additional financial partners so that they can leave in January, 2015. Please pray for the Bwaidoka people, and consider how you might partner with Stan and Patty's ministry in prayer or finances.

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.
