Rick's map of English
dialects in North America

Nathan Stephen Aschmann, June 12, 2005

Rick and Betty met in Ecuador in 1999. Betty worked with HCJB Global from 1992 until marrying Rick. She worked in an international television production studio, producing Christian programs in Spanish for distribution throughout Latin America. Rick and his family served for many years in a cooperative agreement between Mission to the World (MTW) and Wycliffe Bible Translators , working in Colombia from 1981-94. His first wife, Heidi Marie, died in 1997 after a long battle with cancer. Rick was reassigned to Ecuador in 1998 to work part time with MTW in the Quichua Indian language, and part time with Wycliffe to complete an interlinear Greek-English New Testament project.
Betty and Rick were married March 5, 2000 and live and work in Ecuador under MTW. Rick works with MTW’s Hinterland ministry to the Quichua Indian people, in Christian leadership training and church nurture, Quichua Bible promotion, Quichua literature production, and literacy work. Betty continues to volunteer at HCJB Global, and is also learning the Quichua language and helping with Rick’s ministry.
