Tim and Martha: 

We are currently in the United States for our home assignment – a time for us to reconnect with our family, friends and the individuals and churches that support our ministry. In early February we return to the Solomon Islands and our ministry there.

Tim: Changing hearts and lives through Literacy

Wycliffe field personnel work with local community members and local organizations to help people learn to read in their own languages. In many language programs, literacy work goes on side-by-side with Bible translation.

Literacy changes the way people think about themselves. It gives new value to their language and culture, and by implication, to their own identity. Literacy also opens the door for education and growth. With the ability to read, people can learn how to improve their family’s health, run a business, defend themselves from fraud, seek justice and, above all, grow closer to God by reading the Scriptures.
