Samuel & Cleofaye Peniel Svy

Sam and Cleofaye joined Wycliffe Bible Translators in August 2021 and are excited to serve as translation advisors in Tanzania, East Africa. They will be working alongside national translators as they translate the Bible into their mother tongue. There are 126 languages in Tanzania and many groups still lack a full Bible in their language. There are about 25 language projects ongoing in Tanzania today.

Sam and Cleofaye completed an MA in Linguistics and Biblical Languages with a focus on the Hebrew language at Biola University. They are currently gathering a team of prayer and financial partners and would love for you to join their Wycliffe ministry team. They have a desire to see people of every nation, tribe and tongue learn about Jesus in their heart language!

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.

Launch Expense Account

Wycliffe establishes the Launch Expense Account for setup needs beyond recurring ministry and living expenses.

Examples of what these funds cover are training and orientation courses, airfare, visas, immunizations, language learning, work permits, house setup, vehicle, equipment purchases, shipping, etc.
