Who We Are: Organized in 1967 by
friends of Bible translators, Wycliffe Associates is a ministry
accelerating the work of Bible translation around the world.
Our Ministry: Wycliffe Associates accelerates
the work of Bible translation by empowering people to provide the Good
News in every heart language through their time, talents, and treasure.
Because millions of people around the world are still waiting to read
the Scriptures in the language of their heart, we are working as quickly
as we can to translate every verse of God’s Word into every tongue to
change every heart. We partner with nationals, Mother Tongue
Translators, staff, volunteers, and supporters to direct and fund these
efforts, as well as provide logistics, networking, and technical
support. Through a growing global network, we are striving to overcome

the translation of God’s Word in every remaining language that needs it
by 2025.
