John & Sylvia Christensen

The Wycliffe Ministry of

John and Sylvia Christensen have been privileged to serve the Kisar people of Indonesia through Bible translation since 1987. Through God’s grace, the Kisar New Testament was dedicated in 2009. From their home base in New York, John is involved with Kisar Scripture engagement projects, and Sylvia is serving as a translation consultant for various groups in Indonesia, and is also serving as a Partnership Development Coach helping new Wycliffe members reach the field prepared and fully funded. These opportunities give them a chance to use their experience to encourage and equip the next generation. They are also praying about how to facilitate more Kisar Old Testament translation, as well as meet the translation needs for nearby languages. Currently they are asking God for more prayer and financial partners and would love to have you consider joining their team.

Other Ways to Partner

Wycliffe Ministry Budget

Wycliffe establishes a Ministry Budget for its missionaries to reflect recurring expenses related to family factors and their geographic location of service. Giving to Wycliffe directly impacts missionaries’ ability to begin and remain in their assignment. This monthly budget covers ministry-related expenses, insurance and retirement, social security and taxes, and Wycliffe administrative costs. The remainder is what the missionaries receive as “take-home pay” for their daily living expenses.
