Prepared to listen closely

Her first work was helping people put language into words.

At Dallas Bible College, Gaylyn studied Bible, missions, linguistics, and Greek. That foundation took her into communities where listening well mattered before anything could be taught.

Her work with Wycliffe included language development, literacy, Bible translation support, and training. She also created the Wycliffe International Cookbook, which remained one of the organization’s top-selling books for more than 25 years.

One calling, many settings

The thread running through the work.

Language & Scripture

Sixteen years with Wycliffe Bible Translators

Gaylyn conducted linguistic analysis in five Mayan dialects, helped develop written languages, trained native speakers for New Testament translation, and prepared future missionaries in linguistics and literacy.
02

Families & leaders

Ministry built close to real life

With The Navigators, she led a ministry for single-parent families. The work included weekly classes, family activities, retreats, practical support, and one-to-one care.

Experience behind the teaching

She does not teach from a distance.

Gaylyn’s perspective was shaped through abandonment, the loss of her infant son and fiancé, years as a single parent, life in war-torn countries, betrayal, and cancer.

Her speaking makes room for both truth and tenderness—creating a safe place to name what hurts and practice what helps.

Speaking & interviews

Conversations Gaylyn is ready to lead.

Stress, conflict & relationships

Practical skills for responding well when pressure changes the way people relate.

God’s love, joy & identity

Biblical pathways toward healing, security, and deeper relationship with God.

Israel, calling & listening to God
