Maryanne provides administrative support for translation work in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), based in the town of Bunia. Her main responsibilities are supervising the domain team leaders (the coordinators of translation, literacy, research, community mobilisation, linguistics and Scripture engagement), assuring that language teams have good annual plans and budgets, and establishing systems for regular monitoring and evaluation. She also spends time with church representatives to promote their sense of local ownership and prepare them to be more involved in translation projects.

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.
