Natalie Coiro is a linguistics specialist working with Bible translators in Peru.
She spends part of the year working with the Bible translation team for the Nomatsigenga people, a minority language group living in the foothills of the Andes Mountains. With her help doing linguistic research on the language, the Bible translators can communicate the Word of God more effectively for the Nomatsigenga people.
Natalie spends the other part of the year in Lima teaching Latin American missionaries how to do the same—analyze an indigenous language so that translation and literacy work can be more effective. These students carry the linguistic skills they have gained to their own mission fields all across Latin America.
In both of these contexts, the goal of Natalie's ministry is the same—to help people know God better. Please prayerfully consider investing in Bible translation by becoming a prayer and financial partner in Natalie's Wycliffe ministry.

Wycliffe Ministry Budget
Wycliffe establishes a Ministry Budget for its members to reflect recurring expenses related to family factors and their geographic location of service. Giving to Wycliffe directly impacts members' 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 members receive as "take-home pay" for their daily living expenses.
