Alyssa has served with Wycliffe Bible Translators for the last five years. As a Scripture engagement worker, Alyssa partners with Bible translators by going to language groups and leading workshops about how to apply Scripture to people’s lives.

God's word is applicable in every place, every time, and every culture! Depending on the need of the language group, the team leads Trauma Healing workshops, Culture Meets Scripture (CMS) workshops, Bible Background workshops, etc. In CMS workshops, the community selects a certain number of people to represent them and to look at their traditional customs. They then work with the Scripture Engagement team to see what the Bible has to say about each custom. At the end of the workshop, the community has more knowledge of Biblical culture, how that relates to their culture, and what traditional customs are honoring to God and should stay the same, which ones need to change, and which customs need to be replaced.

Currently, Alyssa is in Dallas, TX finishing her Bachelor's degree in International Service and Linguistics at Dallas International University. She plans to use this professional development to serve in Scripture Engagement with Wycliffe in many unreached places in the world.

Thank you for your interest in Alyssa's Wycliffe ministry!
