DIRKS, Wayne and Valerie
Global
Wayne and Valerie serve with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Calgary, where they support the huge task of translating the Word of God into the languages of the world that don’t have it yet. Wayne serves on a global team as a custom website programmer and designer for minority language communities. Valerie serves in leadership administration, focusing on systems projects and supporting administrative teams.
Wayne and Valerie began their journey with Wycliffe in 1994, serving first in Kenya, where Wayne worked in IT support and Scripture publishing for 18 New Testaments in different languages across Africa. Valerie was involved in various areas of support.
After 30 years of ministry they are still committed to this life-changing work and are excited that the last translations could begin within the next few years.
