Andy Keener and his wife, Lori, joined Wycliffe Bible Translators in 1992 with a desire to serve a people group that needed God’s Word in their language. They first worked in language survey in the Caribbean and then served for eight years facilitating a Bible translation project among the Teribe people of Northwestern Panama.
Since their time in Panama, Andy has served in various leadership roles in both Wycliffe USA and SIL, a Wycliffe partner organization, by providing leadership for Bible translation efforts in the Americas and among Deaf communities worldwide.
More recently, Andy has focused on helping Wycliffe connect more effectively and collaborate with church and Bible translation agency leaders around the world so people can receive biblical resources in the languages that serve them best. Andy is also involved with Wycliffe’s advancement efforts in the U.S.
Andy and Lori have four adult children.
