The Wycliffe Ministry of

Mark and Pauline dedicated their lives as Wycliffe missionaries for the past 46+ years to see God's Word translated into the hearts and lives of people from "every tribe and language and people and nation." (Rev 5:9-10)

Mark & Pauline joined Wycliffe in 1976 as singles, and both began their ministries in Colombia, South America (1977-1995). After their first term in Colombia, they married (1983) and then adopted their son (1986), Martin. They also served overseas in Cyprus (1997-2001), England (2001-2005), Russia (2006-2007), North Carolina (2008-2012) and in Costa Rica (2012-2014). Their ministry included a variety of technical support and administrative roles. Mark then had the honor to serve his colleagues in a member care role (2014-2022).

Mark and Pauline live near the JAARS center in Waxhaw, North Carolina.

Other Ways to Partner

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.
