Steve and Celene want to see people knowing and living God's Word, leading to changed lives and transformed communities. That is why they work together with language groups and churches both globally and in Papua New Guinea (PNG). They want to encourage local ownership of Bible translation, literacy and Scripture use. Steve works to build strategic relationships at global, national, and local levels to enable Bible Translation. Celene uses her accounting skills working remotely for SIL-PNG.

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.
