Meet Kristi Ramirez! Why does she love serving in Bible translation with Wycliffe? She said, “One of my favorite things about my job is that I work remotely on a team that actually serves remotely as well.” Some members of Kristi’s team even serve outside of the United States!
“… We’re all across the country, but we’re still easily able to stay connected due to technology today.”
She explained: “We have [chat] channels. We have work parties that are calls where we talk about our gardens, our pets [and] things that are going on with our lives.” Staying connected with teammates in creative ways has allowed Kristi to build meaningful relationships. Despite the physical distance between her colleagues, she said that they all “care about each other and know each other well.”
Kristi also appreciates the ability to serve in a new way when she feels God leading her to make a change.
“One of the things that I love about Wycliffe is there’s always ample opportunity to serve,” Kristi said. A couple years ago, Kristi felt ready to move to a new role. She said, “I was able to … change my position, and it was a seamless process. And now I’m in a job that I love. I’m thriving, and I’m so grateful that I made that change.”
For Kristi, the best part of serving with Wycliffe is having the flexibility to live in the U.S. while contributing to a global mission:
“[I love that] I’m able to serve and be part of the Bible translation movement from my own home.”
