Head of Key Relationships

Chris Winkler

Chris is passionate about the difference that Bible translation makes in lives and churches all around the world.

Chris says: ‘Bible translation is foundational to evangelism, discipleship and church planting – key ministries of the global Church to building God’s Kingdom. There is no other cause in which I’d have rather spent the last two decades of ministry serving.’

Chris joined Wycliffe in 2005 and has carried leadership roles across the Bible translation movement since that time. In Wycliffe USA, he has served both as Chief of Staff and also for more than nine years as the Vice President for Advancement and Church Relations. He has also served as Operations Director for SIL Nigeria (a Wycliffe strategic partner organisation).

Chris is married to Christie and they have three children – Judah, Jovelle and Joisah – whom they home educate. They enjoy books, board games and exploring the great outdoors. Whilst they are American, they currently reside in the beautiful city of Oxford and attend a city centre church.
