Michael and Loreen have joined the team at Wycliffe to help accelerate Bible translation. They believe the Bible, God’s active inspired Word, transforms, heals, and reprograms human hearts. They are passionate about enabling every community to fully experience this life-changing impact in the first language of their heart and culture.
As part of their first assignment, Michael will be serving as a vital link in the translation process assisting with a commentary/translation manual, Translator’s Notes, to ensure accurate and clear explanations of Scripture are available for local translation teams around the world. Loreen provides foundational support and focuses on nurturing and homeschooling their three children, Isaac (4), Ethan (2), and Lydia (9 months). Her tasks include homeschooling and navigating the unique joys and challenges of raising a child with special needs. The Teglands will serve at the International Linguistic Center in Dallas, Texas.
Please pray for them and consider partnering with the Tegland’s Wycliffe ministry. Your partnership through prayers and finances will have a lasting impact on translation efforts and language groups all across the world. The Teglands would love to connect with you to share more about their work with Wycliffe.

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.
