Tim and Michelle Miller
 Tim and Michelle Miller (Ellyn, Joel & Sarah) |
Tim and Michelle Miller along with children Ellyn, Joel, and Sarah serve in Mainland Southeast Asia as literacy and Scripture engagement specialists.
Many minority languages in the region already have vernacular Scriptures, and currently Bible translation is in progress in over 60 languages through various partner agencies. In addition, well over 100 other language groups have been identified as needing Bible translation.
The Millers' ministry involves encouraging and supporting the efforts of local churches and language communities in developing mother tongue literacy programs and materials. They also help these groups develop and use scripture-based media in their local languages, and train church leaders to use scriptures in ways that will engage people of all ages and lead to changed hearts and lives.
Tim grew up in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, while Michelle (nee Kovac) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and spent her later childhood in Liberia, West Africa, where her parents were Bible Translators with LBT. Tim and Michelle met while attending Valparaiso University. The Millers served as evangelistic workers under LCMS World Mission from 1990 to 2005.
Ellyn, Joel and Sarah have had many rich life experiences growing up in Asia. They have enjoyed riding on elephants, eating spicy-hot food, and singing praise songs in church. Ellyn begins her studies at Wheaton College in 2011, while Joel and Sarah continue high school at an international school near their home. The Millers are all eager to shine the light of Jesus wherever they are, and to be used by God to bless the peoples of Mainland Southeast Asia with his Word.
