In addition to the 12 years Neu has served at Wycliffe Associates, he has another 20 years of experience serving in full time ministry, primarily in finance and administration. He trained with Child Evangelism Fellowship as a high school student, serving as a summer missionary, and entered missionary training with New Tribes Mission (NTM) immediately following high school to prepare for life in foreign missions.
Tim served the ministry in different roles, including Director of Operations and Chief Financial Officer.
Neu has personally served Wycliffe Associates’ national translators in Myanmar, Nepal, and Zambia. In his new role, he leads staff and supporters in advancing and expanding translation efforts by equipping and empowering local churches and leaders to fully embrace the challenge of Bible translation—so they can finally have God’s Word in the language of their heart.
“I have a passion for everyone, for every language and people group, to have God’s Word in its fullness,” Neu said in a press release.
“If they have only a Scripture portion, they need the rest to understand the heartbeat of God. If they have only the New Testament, they also need the Old Testament to understand the context of the stories and the prophecy. Our commission is to present the Word of God in its fullness, proclaiming Christ, that all may be presented fully mature in Christ (Colossians 1:25, 28 NIV). This has been and will continue to be our work,” he added. Press Release
