The Rudds are deeply passionate about the transformative power of God’s Word. Michael spent several years overseas as a missionary kid, where he witnessed his parents' calling to serve the Deaf community. Claudia came to faith in Christ during college, after a classmate invited her to church at a pivotal moment in her life. Together, they share a profound desire to see lives around the world transformed by the Gospel, communicated in languages and formats that people can clearly understand. Michael works collaboratively with global partners to identify and fill critical roles in Bible translation projects in the Pacific, Asia and in global Sign Languages. Michael and Claudia were married in 2016 and now have two daughters: Penelope (6) and Eleanor (3).

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.
