Ed and Melissa Swanson

Ed and Melissa Swanson retired from Wycliffe after 40 years of services. They began in Colombia, South America, serving in a number of support roles. After that, they served for several years in the U.S. as co-directors of a Wycliffe sponsored camp ministry designed to grow missionary vision. Their last phase of ministry was in Mexico where they served in various administrative roles.

The Swansons plan to continue living in Montello, Wisconsin. During their retirement they plan to travel abroad, do home improvement projects, enjoy the outdoors, spend more time with family, participate in their local church and volunteer for missions as the Lord leads. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.

If you would like to continue supporting Ed and Melissa in retirement, either give online or include a note with your gift stating, “Preferenced for Ed and Melissa Swanson’s retirement.”

Wycliffe Ministry Budget
Wycliffe establishes a Ministry Budget for its missionaries to reflect recurring expenses related to family factors and their geographic location of service. Giving to Wycliffe directly impacts missionaries’ 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 missionaries receive as “take-home pay” for their daily living expenses.
