Larry & Susan served in Bible Translation and Literacy for an indigenous language community in a sensitive country in the Andes mountains. Larry worked with national translators, facilitating their work of translating the Scriptures into the local language. Susan created literacy materials and trained nationals to teach others how to read. In March of 2018 the New Testament translation was dedicated. Since then, Larry has worked as a translation consultant for languages in South America, providing training and checking their scripture translations. Susan is serving at the Training Department at JAARS, where she trains missionary recruits in intercultural communications and facilitates in many ways. Larry & Susan’s hearts’ desire is to assist language communities with no Scripture or inadequate Scripture to realize their goals for clear and accurate translations of the Bible in the language they understand best. With their experience in translation and literacy, they train and mentor both aspiring missionaries and national translators to participate in the fulfillment of this vision, that languages still in need of a Bible translation will have the opportunity to hear and understand the living Word of God. We invite you to become a prayer partner and/or financial partner with their Wycliffe ministry.

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.
