As Director, he is responsible for leading a multicultural team of personnel who facilitate the Wycliffe Bible translation efforts throughout the country.

We invite you to partner with the Barton's Wycliffe ministry as they strive to end Bible Poverty in Papua New Guinea.

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.
