“Do you regret the decision you made to leave your position as Captain Engineer with your city’s Fire Department and your comfortable lives in Colorado?” When asked this question, the Shidelers’ response is, “nope; not even a little bit!” Seeing how God clearly led them to join Wycliffe in 1993, travel to Cameroon, Africa, to serve in the task of Bible translation for 14 years before returning to the US in 2007, they are humbled by how God has used them in the effort to make His living Word accessible to so many. While Brett is now retired, Marla continues to be energized by by her role as a Resource Coordinator with Wycliffe USA. She finds great joy in participating in the advancement of Bible Translation while serving her fellow members. We invite you to partner with Marla in her Wycliffe ministry!

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.
