Since its establishment in 1967, Wycliffe Associates has focused on helping underserved language communities access the Bible through innovative, locally driven translation efforts. As a Christian nonprofit organization, Wycliffe Associates works to support the global Church by equipping believers with the tools and resources needed to bring Scripture to people in their native languages.

At the heart of Wycliffe Associates’ mission is the belief that local communities are best positioned to translate and share God’s Word. The organization partners with church leaders and volunteers worldwide, encouraging them to take ownership of translation projects in their regions. Through specialized training programs, translation technology, and practical support, local translators can complete Bible translation work more efficiently while maintaining linguistic and cultural accuracy.

Wycliffe Associates also serves as a connector between global supporters and translation teams working in remote and often challenging environments. Contributions from donors, volunteers, and ministry partners help provide equipment, expertise, transportation, and other resources necessary to advance translation projects.

Over the years, the organization has become a leading advocate for rapid Bible translation and Scripture access. Its work reflects a commitment to empowering indigenous believers, strengthening local churches, and ensuring that future generations can read and understand the Bible in the language they know best. Through these efforts, Wycliffe Associates continues to expand the reach of Scripture worldwide.
