Lisa has retired from Wycliffe Bible Translators which she joined in 1999. She served on the continent of Africa and in stateside assignments. We thank God for how He has used Lisa in the lives of others preparing to serve, and for her faithful commitment to the work of Bible translation. Lisa is thankful to all of those who made her service possible.
In this new phase of life Lisa looks forward to having time to serve in the mission field of her community. As she resettles in her home region, she anticipates being the ‘church next door’ in the lives of her neighbors (Luke 10:29-37). She welcomes your continued friendship, prayers and encouragement in the ever-unfolding drama of Life!
Thank you for your commitment to and prayers for Lisa. Those wishing to send financial gifts should include a note stating, “Preference for the Wycliffe retirement pension of Lisa Powell.”

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.
