Our passion is that everyone can know Jesus through the Bible

Director for Churches

Martin Dickson

Martin is passionate about releasing potential in people and the Church.

Martin says: ‘I can only imagine what my own life would be like without the Bible in English. It simply doesn’t feel fair that I can encounter God’s word in the language of my heart while others can’t. When Scripture speaks in familiar words, it awakens something within those who choose to listen. People of every language deserve the light of the gospel and to hear God’s truth in the language they understand best.’

Martin is married to Jo and they live in the Wirral, Merseyside, with their three sons. Martin is an award-winning social entrepreneur with over 20 years of senior leadership experience in faith-based organisations. 

Martin holds a first class degree in Theology and has extensive experience helping ministries serve the Church effectively while achieving their missional goals.

Director for Ministry Partnerships

Simon Austen

Simon is passionate about the vital role that the Bible plays in bringing people to Jesus and in enabling God’s people to become more like Jesus.

Simon says: ‘I am convinced that the Bible runs to the heart of God’s purposes for the world. He powerfully brings people to him and grows his people to be more like Jesus, as his word is made known and his Spirit works. Having seen such spiritual transformation in the lives of many people, I long for others to have that same life-changing opportunity. Having the Bible in a language that people can understand is the bedrock on which all such hopes are built.’

Simon has been involved in Bible ministry for many years, serving as a church pastor in Carlisle and more recently as Rector of St Leonard’s Church in Exeter. Prior to these roles he worked for some time as an assistant minister and as a school chaplain in Buckinghamshire. He is married to Fiona, a harpist and pianist, and has three grown-up children.

Katyana started at Wycliffe in the Supporter Care Team and now leads our regular giving programme Give the Word. Before joining Wycliffe, she worked for a charity in London, helping young people with their schooling. Katyana is part of a growing church in Oxford.

Supporter Care Team Leader

Cameron Kennedy

Cameron is passionate about connecting supporters of Wycliffe with the impact their giving and praying is having all around the world.

Cameron says: ‘I listen to my audio Bible every morning whilst getting ready for my day, but I know so many people still don’t have access to the Bible in a language that they fully understand. Without God’s word and guidance I would be lost and so it is important to me that all people have the opportunity to know Jesus through the Bible in a language that speaks to them best.’

Cameron joined Wycliffe in 2024, having worked in Customer Services for a number of years prior, alongside voluntary roles at her local Church. She moved to Oxford, with her husband Matthew, to start her role at Wycliffe, where she is able to use her previous experience of helping customers alongside her passion to see lives transformed across the world through the Bible. 

Her favourite part of her job is speaking to supporters on the phone, learning through their experiences, and being inspired by their zeal for the work of Bible translation.

Supporter Relations Manager

Mark Andrews

Mark is passionate about working alongside Wycliffe’s generous supporters as they make such a difference through their giving and praying.

Mark says: ‘I want to help supporters experience joy in seeing lives transformed by knowing Jesus through God’s word, which is “living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword.”’ (Hebrews 4:12)

Mark worked in the computer industry for 38 years, before joining Wycliffe so he could be involved in a mission central to his life. Mark and his wife have three children, and they are members of a church in Thame.

Head of Legacies and Key Projects

Matt Smith

Matt is passionate about enabling supporters to give to the causes closest to their heart and to become equipped to partner in mission for generations to come.

Matt says: ‘Reaching unreached people with the good news of Jesus and equipping the local church worldwide is something that I am passionate about. I love connecting with others who share this passion and developing new opportunities with them to see mission thrive and grow.’

Matt works to develop our growing legacy programme and manages key projects for Wycliffe. Before joining Wycliffe, Matt worked in fundraising for another Christian charity.

Josiah is passionate about everyone getting the Bible in their language and the huge difference which is made to this work by people leaving gifts for it in their Wills.

I know how my life has been illuminated through reading the Bible, and it is such a pleasure to have a front row seat as Wycliffe works to give others that same opportunity. As a first-language Welsh speaker, I’ve experienced the deep joy of reading the Bible in the language I know best, and I love seeing others do the same’.
