After working with Wycliffe for more than 42 years in multiple roles and several different locations in Asia and the Pacific Islands, Nate and Dawn finally retired in November 2021. They now reside in Virginia near their daughter Janelle and her family. They continue to serve God and satisfy their hunger for cross-cultural relationships by teaching ESL to refugees and immigrants, and by supporting the on-going work of Bible translation through giving rather than going.

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.
