It takes a wide range of people and skills to make Bible translation happen. From linguists to aviators, to human resources, to teachers, to communications personnel, every role is vital to the effort.
After their first term in Papua New Guinea was cut short due to medical complications, Luke and Noelle Garvey, along with their daughters Meleia and Alaina, have been serving from Dallas, TX, supporting the global work of Bible translation and holistic language development. As Wycliffe missionaries, Luke has been seconded to serve in Global Marketing and Communications with SIL Global, the primary field partner of Wycliffe.
The Garveys are now preparing to relocate to Nairobi, Kenya, which will serve as their ministry base for the coming season. From Nairobi, they will continue supporting SIL’s global work while also engaging more closely with teams and partners across Africa, one of the most linguistically diverse and strategically significant regions for Bible translation and language development.
The Garveys invite you to partner with their Wycliffe ministry as they seek to help bring the Bible to those who do not yet have access to it. Prayerfully consider how God may be leading you to support the Garveys’ Wycliffe ministry through prayer, encouragement, and financial partnership.

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.
