Hello,
Initially Rick and Carol served as translators with the Poqomam people of Guatemala, but for the past 20 years they have been supporting Bible Translation through media. Rick, as the Media Coordinator for the Americas, works closely with three media organizations: one in Peru, one in Colombia and one in Guatemala. They are involved in the next phase; helping people engage with scripture, so that God's Word will speak into their daily lives.
Carol’s responsibilities tie in more closely with the studio in Guatemala, helping give oversight to the bookkeeper, translating lessons for "Deditos," a video series on Old Testament bible stories for children that is being produced by the Viña studio in Guatemala, and used worldwide. The English version of the lessons will enable people for whom English is a trade language to use it as a basis for translating into other languages. Carol is also involved in doing logistics for various events.

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.
