‘When I visit the ongoing work, I always ask, “How can we be of most help to you?” The answer I often hear is, “Can you send more people?”’

James Poole – Executive Director of Wycliffe

God has created you with a unique set of gifts and talents to use to serve him.

People with many different kinds of skills, and in different stages of life, are needed to serve in the ministry of Bible translation – a ministry that is central to world mission.

People serving with Wycliffe work in multicultural teams with local colleagues and people from all over the world, all united in the vision God has given us for everyone to have the Bible in their language.

We’d love you to get in touch with our friendly team to begin exploring how God can use your skills so that more people can know Jesus through the Bible.
