John and Lisa have a heart for reaching people without God's Word in the language they understand best. From the JAARS center base they continue to serve many countries around the world.

As Instructor in Land Transportation, John trains national Bible translators in their country as well as U.S. missionaries on their way overseas, to safely drive 4x4 vehicles and motorcycles over remote and often treacherous roads. Increasing safety margins, minimizing stress from difficult travel, and reducing driver related vehicle damage and delays, helps Bible translators focus on delivering the translated Word of God more effectively.

Lisa, working with Wycliffe's pre-field training team, helps equip outgoing missionaries to effectively minister cross culturally by preparing them to be spiritually fit, relationally mature and culturally sensitive.
