MISSIONARY UPDATE: Larry and Andrea Ciccarelli

Larry and Andrea Ciccarelli have worked in the Mediterranean region for over thirty years on Bible translation projects in Bedouin Arabic, Standard Arabic, Lebanese Arabic, and a number of other dialects and languages. They particularly enjoy working with local and international colleagues on new media and arts projects (chanting, calligraphy, and music, among other genres). Since 2005, Larry and Andrea have served as exegetical and linguistic advisers, working with a team of Christians and Muslims on a translation of the Bible designed to be understandable by Arab readers with little Bible background. Larry and Andrea have two daughters, Amani (born 2004) and Shireen (born 2005).
