Our Missionaries
Terry Yu
Terry Yu is the campus staff of International Students, Inc (ISI). She is in charge of weekly International Students Fellowship (ISF) meetings for De Anza and Foothill College students on Thursday nights at Valley Church Student Center, and Bible Study on Friday afternoon at Bridges Community Church.
If you cannot go on a mission trip, here’s the good news for you: You don’t need to travel to reach the world because the mission field has come to you. Most international students come from families with influence, so by caring for an international student, you could reach a different nation. Leading a student Bible study trains students to become missionaries. Just start with being a friend to one or more international students; it is both fun and rewarding for you and your family. If you are interested in serving international students, please email Terry.

The Matuszczaks
Joel and Becky joined Wycliffe Bible Translators in 2001 and served for 12 years in Bible translation and administrative roles with SIL Mexico Branch. When family health needs required them to remain in the US, Joel was asked to serve as Maintenance Coordinator at the Cowan retirement apartments in Dallas, Texas.
In his new role, Joel will be a part of a team who provide an affordable and supportive environment for retired Wycliffe missionaries who have faithfully served God through Bible translation. Many of these continue to contribute by sharing their wealth of experience with missionaries in training. We invite you to consider investing in Bible translation through the Wycliffe ministry of Joel and Becky.
