With over 500 languages, Nigeria is home to millions of people who have no Scripture in their language. Steve and Sonia have been serving in Nigeria since 1991, equipping Nigerians to be engaged in Bible translation and language development. Steve serves as Linguistics Coordinator, helping other linguists be effective in their work. Sonia serves as administrative assistant to the SIL Nigeria Director. Sonia loves keeping things organized and running smoothly! Steve and Sonia would be honored for you to invest in Bible translation by partnering with them in their Wycliffe ministry. They send out a monthly email update and would be happy to add friends to their distribution list upon request.

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.
