From Seattle, Washington, Alex completed his Masters in Applied Linguistics and Exegesis at Canada Institute of Linguistics in 2016. Alex serves with Wycliffe as a Language Program Manager, working with the Quechua peoples of Peru.
HIS ASSIGNMENT
Many Quechua language communities have a complete New Testament, and are hungry for God's full revelation! The translation of the Old Testament into their languages is underway, and Alex's role is to help guide Quechua teams through the process. He also empowers them to engage with the Scriptures in new ways.
Alex is married to Patricia Arevalo Villegas de Larkin. In the future Patty looks to use her gifting in childhood education to further heart transformation through the use of the translated Scriptures. In the meantime she has the important task of caring of the family, and occasionally helps ministries with English-Spanish translations. She is working towards joining Wycliffe in early 2026.
They have one son named Owen, who was born towards the end of 2024.
Wycliffe's members rely on church communities and individuals to partner with their Wycliffe ministry through prayer and financial commitments. Please prayerfully consider investing in Bible translation as a prayer and financial partner in Alex's 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.
