July 1, 2008

Dear Robert and Verna,

This year marks the 25th anniversary of your service with Wycliffe Bible Translators. On behalf of your colleagues in Wycliffe USA, I want to thank you for these 25 years of dedication to the Bible translation ministry.

At the February 2008 Wycliffe USA Board meetings, the Board spent time thanking God and praying for you and others who have reached important milestones in their service with Wycliffe. The Board also thanked God for the host of partners who have stood behind you, praying and giving so that you could continue serving. We are grateful for you and for all who are part of your ministry team.

As you continue in your service for God, may He give you the strength and confidence you need to carry on, and may He bring much fruit from your work. We look forward to the day when the full impact you have made on the Kingdom of God will become visible to all.

Warmly,

Bob Creson

President, Wycliffe USA
