Brief Biography

David and Leah were both missionary kids in Africa. They were married at the New Wilmington Missionary Conference in 1980, after they attended since childhood and were prayed for individually for many years. They have spent the last 24 years with Wycliffe Bible Translators in Australia, Kenya, and Mozambique, where they currently serve.

Wycliffe Bible Translators envisions that by the year 2025 a Bible translation project will be in progress for every people group where needed.

David and Leah have strategic support roles at Wycliffe that enable others to translate the Bible into new languages. Most recently, they have been serving in Nampula, Mozambique, where David manages the new office and training center. They open their home on Friday evenings for homemade pizza, and have started an English fellowship as an outreach to other English speakers in Nampula. Their partnership with Mozambican churches in planning and decision making for Bible translation programs is a high priority.

On vacation, the Prestons and their extended family help Leah’s dad, Ted Pollock (90+), build churches in Africa.

David and Leah have four children. Josh has served as an Army scout in Iraq, Nathan is studying at Clarkson University, Heather is at Cedarville University, and Becky, their youngest, is at Rift Valley Academy in Kenya.
