As I sit down to write this message, I'm trying to imagine what it would be
like if Wycliffe Associates had no accountants. This actually has nothing to do
with the fact that we are starting our annual audit today—really!
Our accounting team does a tremendous job supporting our stewardship of
financial resources. The annual audit is just part of our routine accountability
and transparency. It's really quite impossible to imagine managing our global
projects and personnel without accounting.
If we didn't have experienced accounting professionals, we'd have to find
someone to cover the responsibility—because without accounting we'd just be
guessing. And Bible translation is too vital to be reduced to guessing.
I'm on this train of thought today because we are currently looking for
accountants to fill key critical roles in three different locations: Brazil,
Kenya, and Southeast Asia.
In each of these situations, the accounting responsibilities are being covered
by translators or administrators with other responsibilities. Having dedicated
accounting professionals in these assignments would strengthen these teams
tremendously, and help to advance Bible translation.
In addition to accountants, we have two critical needs for business managers:
East Asia and South Africa. Bible translation teams in these locations are in
need of someone with experience to manage the business processes and support
team.
As in the situations I described above, these responsibilities are currently
being covered by translators or will soon be uncovered as key staff transition
to other areas.
If you or someone you know, has project management and would like more details

talk with you and give you more details about these opportunities.
Pray with us that God will link us with the people He has prepared to serve in
these key assignments.
