Larry & Susan served together in the work of Bible Translation and Literacy for an indigenous language community in the Andes mountains. Larry worked for 16 years with national translators, facilitating their work of translating the Scriptures into their heart language. Susan created literacy materials in the language and trained national workers to teach others how to read. In January 2017, they completed the final checks of the New Testament translation and are looking forward to publication in the coming months. Larry & Susan’s hearts’ desire is to assist language communities with no Scripture or inadequate Scripture to realize their goals for clear and accurate translation of the Bible in the language they understand best, and to guide them in the creation of literacy and Scripture-Use materials so that all people in the community will have access to, and be impacted by the truth of God’s Word. They look forward to being able to do this as they step into new assignments as consultants with Wycliffe.
In their new roles, they will be able to use their experience in translation and literacy to train and mentor national translators in multiple language projects in South America. We invite you to become a prayer partner and/or financial partner with this ministry to the people of South America who still need God's Word in their heart language.
