Dear Family and Friends,
It is nearing the last part of our fiscal year in Wycliffe, which ends on September 30, 2018. We want to give you a year ending ministry update and express our thanks to each of you who have stood with us these past 12 months with your encouragement, prayers and finances. We could not do our work without your partnership.

Successful Recruitment Fiscal Year Wraps Up Psalm 115:1, “Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!”
Wycliffe Bible Translators’ Translation Milestone Reached A huge mile-stone was reached in our work. In August, Wycliffe Bible Translators completed their 1,000th New Testament! It took 44 years for Wycliffe to complete the first 100 New Testaments, but it only took 40 years to finish another 900 New Testaments!
We thank the Lord for providing another fruitful year of recruitment. This year Chuck’s team saw 24 people join Wycliffe. This was a combined effort of Chuck and the two Wycliffe recruiters who work with him. This was a 30% increase from the previous year. Plus we end the year with an additional 5 people still in application. Barb too saw a good number of people who she processed as Interns this past year and it is so exciting to see those who have gone on internships move on to full membership. Praise the Lord for those who said yes to going!
