What is your role in Bible Translation (or nature of your connection to WSA)? Tell us a bit about what you do

Tell us a bit about your family

Our eldest son Travis lives with his wife Sydney in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. Our youngest son Jordan lives with us in Cape Town.

What are some of your hobbies and interests?

Tom:
Going on an African safari and photographing God’s amazing creatures is one of our all-time favourite activities.

Sharon:
Reading is one of my oldest hobbies. Researching DNA matters is my newest hobby. Going on Safari remains a family activity that fills all of us with joy.

What is something you enjoy about being part of WSA and/or Bible Translation?

Tom:
I like working and fellowshipping with African translators and I am inspired by their dedication and sacrifice.

Sharon:
Bible translation has always been something that has been to me an essential part of building a local body of believers who rely on the Scriptures and not traditions of men. Being able to do this in Africa is an added blessing as that is where my soul is always at home.
