Scot and Cherie have been on assignment in Papua New Guinea since 1996. They have been working with the Mato people on the northern coast to translate the New Testament into their language. The New Testament was dedicated in 2019. The Stobers continue working with the Mato people to train Mato translators to carry on with Old Testament translation and also with the neighboring language Uma to translate the New Testament into their language using the Mato New Testament as a base translation.
In secondary assignments, Scot does typesetting work. Cherie has a part-time position as an administrative assistant to the Wycliffe Director of Workforce Placement and Collaboration.

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.
