Steve has been serving with Wycliffe Bible Translators since 1983, developing software used by Bible translators around the world. One early program he worked on, Computer Assisted Related Language Adaptation (CARLA), enables bootstrapping a new translation from an existing one in a related language. He later worked on Language Explorer, which provides tools for building dictionaries, recording cultural observations, and linguistically analyzing texts — all essential to producing high-quality translations. His current project, Bloom, empowers communities to create picture story books in their own languages. It supports literacy efforts and provides an easy way to develop Bible story books. Both print and electronic publishing options are available in Bloom. The electronic publishing option makes Bloom one of the few tools available for producing sign-language books.
Steve works remotely from his home in Emmett, Idaho, with the Language Software Development team headquartered at the International Linguistics Center in Dallas, Texas. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with Steve in his Wycliffe ministry supporting Bible translation?

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.
