Jerry and Judy spent their early life together raising their three children and building experience in business development. In 2006, God unexpectedly called them away from their successful business, their children and grandchildren to join the work of Bible translation as members of Wycliffe Bible Translators. Although not linguists or translators, God made it clear He had given them the necessary training to make a contribution to the Bible translation effort. Their first assignment was the Wycliffe Regional Office in Georgia, then in January, 2008, they were assigned to Asia by Wycliffe where they spent the next 5½ years. In May of 2013 they returned to the US for home assignment and accepted the position of director in Senior Benefits for Wycliffe Bible Translators. They make their home in Eatonton, GA.

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.
