Doug and Beth Wright have served in SIL-Eastern Congo Group (Democratic Republic of Congo) for over 35 years, helping to build capacity in national Bible translation projects through training, consulting and developing tools. They lived among the Logo people, trained a team of nationals, and worked with them to develop a writing system and a literacy program and to translate the New Testament into Logo (published in 2015). Doug has also served as a translation consultant for the Mangbetu Translation Project where he has helped the team translate over 85% of the New Testament. He has also been the lead developer of the French Model Translation, a resource that is helping scores of national translation projects throughout French-speaking Africa translate the New Testament into their own languages.
Please pray for the Wrights as Doug continues to serve in the Bible translation movement as a part-time volunteer. Any contributions should be designated for the Wycliffe retirement income of Doug & Beth Wright.

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.
