EBC Missionaries Of The Week: Gary & Penny Lent

In 2006 Gary attended a Wycliffe "Check I.T. Out" conference and learned he could use vacations to help Bible translation with computers.  So he and Penny applied as short-term volunteers with Wycliffe Associates.  They served almost three months in Cameroon.  Penny did writing, teaching, and editing for the Cameroon Association of Bible Translation and Literacy.

In 2008 the Lents helped for a month in Thailand with their two college-age sons, Jody and Robert, followed by a month at JAARS and a month at the Wcyliffe Center in Dallas.  After meeting with the Seed Company (a Wycliff partner), Penny was invited to be a long-distance writer and editor of language project updates.
