Sharon works with the Writing Systems Technology department to develop computer technology to allow the Bible to be translated into languages that use complex alphabets. One third of the languages that are spoken in the least evangelized parts of the world use these forms of writing.
One of Sharon’s main projects has been the development of a software package called Graphite, which is specifically designed to allow minority languages that are written with complex alphabets to be displayed or printed properly using the computer. Sharon has also helped developed fonts for languages in Southeast Asia, South Asia, and West Asia.
From her office in Dallas, Texas, Sharon’s projects have an impact on Bible translation projects in many parts of the world. Please consider investing in Bible translation by joining Sharon's Wycliffe ministry partnership team through prayer and financial gifts.

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.
