Stephen and Lara have both had a lifelong passion for missions. They were married in August of 2012 and got their start with Wycliffe through an internship in Papua New Guinea from 2014 to 2016. Rorik and Evangeline joined the family in November 2015 and February 2018. Their little brother, Thaddeus, arrived in December of 2023.

The Nashes are currently working towards new Wycliffe assignments with the Global Diaspora Team. As a Data Analyst/Researcher, Stephen will research electronic leads to locate diaspora communities and individuals who speak specific languages, especially those from creative access countries with a potential need for Bible translation.

As a City Connector, Lara will build relationships with key people in the language groups of focus in Dallas and Fort Worth. She'll prepare the way for language assessment projects and investigate possibilities for Bible translation, language development, and Scripture engagement among designated diaspora communities. She'll also facilitate connections between local ministry partners, communities, resources, and projects.

The Nashes will begin these new assignments when they reach 100% of the budget Wycliffe has set for them. Please pray about becoming a financial partner in their Wycliffe Ministry!
