Michael & Martha worked with the Uma people in Indonesia to translate the New Testament, which was first published in 1996. Since then, Michael has worked as a translation consultant and has helped over 30 Bible translation teams in Southeast Asia improve the quality of their translation. His work in this role has been much in demand because of his experience in the languages and cultures of that region. Beginning in 2023, Martha & Michael worked with Uma colleagues to revise the Uma New Testament. The Uma New Testament 2nd Edition was printed in 2026.
Thank you for your interest in their Wycliffe ministry. Please pray about partnering with them financially and in prayer. They appreciate prayers as they move into retirement in the near future.

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.
