Judy Cochran is passionate about mobilizing the church for God’s global mission. Before becoming a missionary with Wycliffe Bible Translators in 2015, the Lord prepared Judy by placing her in a God-centered, mission-oriented church, using her communication skills to minister to women through teaching, curriculum writing and conference speaking, and He provided opportunities for short-term mission trips. God also allowed Judy and her husband, Brian, the privilege of welcoming international college students to live in their home. In 2013, Judy completed the transformational coaching program at Western Seminary and became a certified coach. As a Wycliffe missionary, Judy served in international relations in Washington, DC, advocating for people in Asia who speak non-dominant languages; directed the mobilization team, seeking the next generation of missionaries; and served as the Strategic Partnerships Manager for Wycliffe’s Church Relations team. She also serves on the Global Missions team for her local church. Judy and Brian have three adult children and six adorable grandchildren and live in Scottsdale, Arizona.
