One of the biggest concerns for parents is their childrens education. Here in the United States we long for our children to have an educational experience that not only excels academically but also instills values that will carry our precious children through life. Now imagine you are in a foreign country and many of your education options are stripped away. Your utmost concern for your children remains, but there may be few educational choices. You may need to stop your work in order to home school or send your children many hours away to a boarding school. As you may well imagine, the lack of appropriate educational opportunities is the biggest reason missionaries leave the field. Providing teachers on the field enables Wycliffe missionaries to stay, helping give Scripture access to Bibleless people and helping to shape the next generation.

Go!

Wycliffe needs people of all skills and backgrounds to achieve Vision 2025. Maybe God is calling you to be a part of Bible translation.

Churches & Small Groups

I am looking for churches and small groups where I can share about the needs of Bible translation, the great work God is doing, and the impact Bible translation has on people groups around the world.
