After Paul and Laura learned of the need for software developers in missions, they felt called by God to join Wycliffe Bible Translators. In 2008 Paul left his job at Boeing and they moved to Papua New Guinea with their four children: Daniel, Rachel, Michael, and Jessica (ages 3-10). After working 11 years in Papua New Guinea the Dokkens are now serving in North Carolina at the JAARS center supporting Bible translation. Paul is working in the Information and Technology (IT) group and Laura works in the Training Department training new missionaries.
Please consider how you might partner with the Dokken'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.
