Peter and Sally Tyson’s journey reads like an adventure novel, with many twists and turns along the way. Situations have not always gone according to plan and Peter’s role has continually changed over the years but he has been open to being used by God whenever a situation or need has arisen. Peter officially 'retired' after 25 years and we are grateful for the perseverance and grace of our ‘Peter of all trades’.

Because we are there
Bible translation is not simply a technical exercise. It is primarily dependent on relationships and friendships, built up and sustained over a long period of time. It is cultivated by the sharing of lives; of joys and sufferings.

Some things don’t change: we still need people like Keith and Carol Barber
While new members represent the future, retiring members give us the history on which to build our future. Keith Barber recently retired from Wycliffe after serving for 26 years alongside his wife Carol.
