Why I Serve With Wycliffe: Meet Daryl
Meet Daryl and Sun Young! They have served with Wycliffe both overseas and in the U.S. Throughout their journey they have been supported as they follow God’s lead to serve; Daryl especially remembers how God has provided for their children’s education.
Parents might fear that their children will miss out on opportunities and the chance to receive a high-quality education. But as Daryl looked back on raising three children overseas while serving with Wycliffe, he said, “That has not been the case at all.”
Moving overseas was a major decision to make, but the Youngs discovered their children would be able to choose from several education options. The family decided on a school that conducted lessons in French, the majority language in Cameroon where they served. “Our kids became bilingual. Daryl said, … [They] got [a] strong foundation in elementary [school].”
Later, the kids had the opportunity to attend Rain Forest International School. Daryl said, “[The school] provided a very solid and Christ-centered middle and high school education, preparing them well for college-level work.” He added, “We [feel] super blessed about that.”
“As we had three kids entering college, and even years where all three have been in higher education, Wycliffe has really blessed our family,” he said.
Daryl concluded: “For those who are thinking about [education] as a possible challenge, just know that God provides and where God leads, God feeds.
