Jim is a linguistics/translation consultant and trainer, while Juanita's focus is literacy/training. They work with leaders in churches, education, and academic research. They are continuing projects in two Tepehua languages of Mexico where they helped carry out New Testament translation projects. Jim and Juanita also meet training needs in other countries. Jim currently is serving part-time as consultant for various Bible translation teams in Asia. The Watters love their work, recognizing the privilege it is to serve in language development and Bible translation for furthering God's Kingdom in language communities of the world. They are grateful for those who partner with them in this ministry through prayer and finances. They would be glad to meet with additional potential partners.

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.
