Bob & Marilyn began working in Indonesia in 1980. They thank God for the opportunity to serve Him in Bible Translation. Together with a team of Balantak translators they completed the Balantak New Testament in 2010. (To view a short 7.5 minute video of the dedication, click on the vimeo website link to the left.)
Since the completion of the Balantak New Testament, Bob and Marilyn have helped the Balantak people with various projects like the Jesus Film, but they have been primarily involved in training and mentoring translators of other languages in Indonesia. As a translation consultant, Bob helps review Scripture translations before they are published.
Bob and Marilyn invite you to be a part of their Wycliffe ministry partnership team, helping to equip translators to translate the Scriptures.

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.
