Emily's enthusiasm for Bible translation was first sparked in middle school by missionary biographies that introduced her to Bible poverty and Wycliffe's role in addressing this need. Her life so far has shown her how God has wired her to build relationships through learning foreign languages, living abroad, and serving the church. Her recent studies for her Master's in Biblical exegesis and linguistics reinforce her desire to participate in God's growth of his global and local church and to share her access to so much knowledge about God with those who may not have even a single Bible verse. Emily is currently working as a translation project facilitator in Côte d'Ivoire (the Ivory Coast).

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.
