Steve and Debbie have served with Wycliffe since the turn of the century.
Steve is in a type of apprenticeship to become a translation consultant. His primary task in this work is to check that translations are clear, accurate, and natural. Most of the work is done in his remote office in the US, but he makes trips to other parts of the world to run translation checks. He is also assigned to the Spoken English Bible. His primary work there is to find good translations for words that are tough to translate.
Debbie is a certified life coach with a worldwide reach. She helps missionaries and future missionaries be healthy and stay healthy. She works with Wycliffe members as well as with people in partner organizations, including Dallas International University, Pioneer Bible Translators, and others.
Steve and Debbie have three adult sons and a growing number of grandchildren.

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.
