It takes a lot of people with broad ranges of skills to make Bible translation happen. From linguists to aviators, to human resources, to teachers, to communications personnel - every role is vital to the effort.
After their first term in Papua New Guinea was cut short due to medical complications, Luke and Noelle Garvey, along with their daughters Meleia and Alaina, are currently based out of Dallas, TX serving the global work of Bible Translation and holistic language development. As Wycliffe missionaries, Luke has been seconded to serve in Global Marketing & Communications with SIL Global. SIL is the key field partner organization of Wycliffe.
The Garvey's invite you to partner with their Wycliffe ministry as they seek to help bring the Bible to those who don't yet have access to it. Prayerfully consider how God may be leading you to partner with the Garveys' Wycliffe ministry, prayerfully and/or financially.

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.
