David, Melissa, and their seven children have recently returned to the US after serving almost 10 years in Papua New Guinea. David supports the work of Bible translation through his skills as a software developer.
David has recently accepted a role with the Scripture App Builder team. David and Melissa were able to witness the benefits of this piece of software firsthand on the field. The Scripture App Builder software allows translation teams to easily share completed Scripture in their language group, and enables new avenues of distribution.
The Smiths are super excited about this new chapter to which God has called them. Please prayerfully consider investing in Bible translation by becoming a prayer and financial partner in their Wycliffe ministry.

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.
