Keith Patman

Keith has served with Wycliffe Bible Translators since 1982, helping teams in West and Central Africa as they translate the Bible into their languages. He and his family lived in Cameroon and served as advisors to the Nugunu team, whose New Testament was dedicated in 2017. That team is currently translating the Old Testament. Now based in the U.S., Keith provides tools in French for translators using French Bible versions as their source texts, and he provides consultant help to teams as they check their translation for accuracy and clarity. He has served as instructor, grader, and coordinating team member for Perspectives classes since taking the course in 2005. His wife Jaci is a Presbyterian pastor. They are happy to have recently settled in Winchester, Virginia, closer to the families of Keith's daughter and son and six grandchildren in the Washington, DC area.
