Lawrence serves in the U.S. by meeting one-on-one with Wycliffe staff and Bible translators living and working in various countries around the world to help them improve their English through an online program. English language fluency is important for biblical and linguistic studies and for communication with colleagues from other countries. Melanie works remotely compiling a bi-weekly prayer guide for Bible translation and literacy work in the Philippines.
They are grateful for the opportunity they had previously to serve the Bible translation movement overseas in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa, and the Philippines from 1998-2013.
Lawrence and Melanie couldn’t do this without a great team of partners – people like you!

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.
