Rev. David and Valerie Federwitz

Meet the Missionary

Rev. David and Valerie Federwitz have served with Lutheran Bible Translators since 2003. Their first 10 years were spent with the Komba-speaking people in Ghana, West Africa. During this time, they developed a Komba language primer series and facilitated the establishment of a literacy program.

David continues to encourage and support the Komba Literacy and Bible Translation Project along with more than 40 others as West Africa Regional Director. He frequently travels to Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon, fostering relationships with the leaders of current and potential partner organizations as well as the Lutheran Bible Translators missionaries working there, providing support, guidance, and direction as they serve in their various locations and capacities.

Valerie serves on the member care team, supporting the health and well-being of missionaries and office staff in her role as Nutrition and Wellness Consultant.
