The Wycliffe Ministry of

Ken & Chris Van Weerdhuizen

Ken, Chris and their family served for 20 years in the Philippines. Ken served primarily as a pilot and aircraft mechanic. Chris served in a variety of support roles on regional translation centers. Later they served for a year in Cameroon, again primarily in aviation. Then God used a variety of events to lead them to assignments at the JAARS Center in North Carolina. (www.jaars.org) In 2022, medical challenges prompted a move to Michigan.

Ken's continues to support Bible translation through prayer for the worldwide work and by encouraging and helping people as God brings them across his path.

In her role with the Care Team, Chris ministers to Wycliffe colleagues, some of whom are serving overseas and some transitioning to life in the US. She maintains a relationship with them, encouraging them, answering their questions, and connecting them with helpful resources so they can serve effectively. Member care is an important part of retaining valuable servants.

Please consider how you might partner with them in their Wycliffe ministry through prayer or financial provision.

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.
