Isaiah 52:7
reminds us that the feet of those who bring good news are
beautiful, but our financial supporters - who literally put
shoes on our feet - keep us running!

Provide regular income support for a Wycliffe member
Wycliffe
members don't receive a salary. They depend on a team
of people to provide regular financial support. Members
financial needs depend on factors such as the cost of living
in their assigned country, work related expenses and number
of dependents. We insist that members have the full amount
promised before they go on assignment.
Our members' responsibility is to regularly connect with
their support team. The Wycliffe member you support will
provide you with ongoing information about their work via
letters, emails or personal visits. You don't just give
money, you gain a relationship.
To find a Wycliffe member to support, first check with
your Pastor or Mission Committee. Your church may already
be committed to support a particular member, and members
routinely visit supporting churches when in Australia.
If your church does not already support a Wycliffe member,
contact us and we'll link you up.

Support the
HIV-AIDS Literacy PNG fund
HIV-AIDS has been introduced in Papua New Guinea and has a
significant hold on the nation. There is a great need to
communicate clearly how HIV-AIDS is caught and how it can be
avoided. Education is needed in each vernacular language.
Wycliffe Australia and its partners have created an
opportunity to place people with literacy skills to work
with village-level literacy programs that include HIV-AIDS
awareness materials, Bible studies and educational
materials. To help this effort, Wycliffe Australia has
created the HIV-AIDS literacy PNG fund.

Top up the Supplementary Support Fund
Sometimes financial
support doesn't come as expected and a Wycliffe member
is left with a shortfall. To cover gaps, Wycliffe has a
Supplementary Support Fund. The fund accepts one-off gifts
or regular donations. Each month, money is distributed
to members whose financial support has fallen below expectations.
The fund is not a long-term solution, but a safety net
allowing members to keep working until other people are
found to join their support team.

Provide a Bequest
For the peace of mind of your loved ones,
the Government recommends you make a will. If you don't,
the law has to follow its own dictates and is forced to
distribute your assets in ways you may not have wished.
If spreading God's Word has been one of your life goals,
you may want to remember Wycliffe in your will. In this
way, you can ensure your commitment to Bible translation
and literacy will continue after you die.
