God is raising up an increasing number of Central Africans with the vision to translate the Bible into their own mother-tongue languages. This is an exciting time to be a partner in the Central African Bible translation movement where over 50 Bible-less languages still wait!
God has opened many doors in miraculous ways and, after years of serving elsewhere and preparing, the Martis were able to move to the Central African Republic (CAR) in May of 2017. There the team works hand-in-hand with the local Bible translation organization in written and oral translation, audio recording of Scriptures and Jesus Film dubbing.
Elizabeth is the director of the team and Nate works as an IT Specialist for both our team and our national partner organization. They are based in Bangui with their two children.

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.
