Believing like the household of Stephanus in 1 Cor. 16:15 who devoted themselves to the service of the saints, the Hires have served those who serve in Bible translation with Wycliffe since 1967 teaching reading in two different languages, and serving in various administrative roles with the Philippines and Mexico branches of SIL, a partner organization of Wycliffe. They are thrilled to serve in whatever capacity to support their colleagues in translation efforts so that those yet without God's Word will soon understand for themselves God's love letter to them. Their prayer and financial partners in ministry have been their encouragers all the way!

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.
