Jon and Cindi Hampshire became Wycliffe members in 1988 and began overseas service with SIL Eastern Congo Group in 1992 - supporting the work of Bible translation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Jon has served in a variety of administrative roles, including director of the work for 13 years. Cindi has served as prayer coordinator and bookkeeper. Having turned their roles over to Godly Congolese co-workers in 2025, they returned to the US to be closer to aging parents, children, and grandchildren. They reside in Greenville, South Carolina, and work remotely from their home. Jon serves as Resource Mobilization Manager, with focus on French-speaking African countries. In short, Jon's work is to develop and foster partnerships with interested people and churches, and to raise awareness, financial resources, and prayer support for the work of Bible translation and all of its related activities in francophone Africa. Cindi continues service with SIL Eastern Congo Group in their finance department, providing a vital link between the work in the DRC and funding partners.

 

Jon and Cindi are excited to see Bible translation move forward in Africa. Please prayerfully consider joining their Wycliffe ministry team through prayer and/or financial partnership.
