Wycliffe

What was your call to ministry?

Called to use my software engineering skills to accelerate Bible Translation and the completion of the Great Commission.

Where do you serve?

I serve with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Orlando, FL

How long have you been with them?

We joined as Members of Wycliffe in 2012. So ten years this July, 2022.

Give a short explanation of this ministry.

There are about 1900 people groups totaling about 145 million people who have no scripture in a language that speaks to there heart. The Great Commission of Matt 28 requires that we make disciples teaching them everything that Jesus taught. Bible translation is the beginning part of making disciples. We use software extensively to speed Bible translation and literacy. We have about 300 open software/IT positions. My role is to recruit network engineers, software developers, web developers, database administrators and data scientists to fill these roles.
