Wycliffe Associates was founded in 1967 to support and encourage Wycliffe Bible Translators in practical, tangible ways. The founders -- Bill Butler, Dale Kietzman, and Rudy Renfer -- crafted a ministry, which would provide opportunities for volunteers to use their gifts and abilities in hands-on projects, meeting the real needs of translators on the mission field. It was also the founders dream to increase Christians' awareness of opportunities for their personal involvement in Bible translation right from their own hometowns.

Hands-On Ministry
God has used thousands of volunteers to help make this dream a reality. The ministries of Wycliffe Associates enable you and others like you to put your knowledge and skills to work in support of Wycliffe's Bible translation efforts.

* Construction workers design buildings; do framing, wiring, and bricklaying; install utilities; build translation centers; pave roads; build airstrips; and provide schools, offices, and housing.
* Other volunteers make vital contributions on short-term mission trips providing child care, accounting, mechanics and other services.
* Families open their homes to traveling missionaries through the Hospitality Roster, support the Wycliffe Associates Linen Closets, and raise funds for projects through Wycliffe Associates Banquets.
* And only the Lord knows the impact of the hours of prayer on the part of Wycliffe Associates Prayer Watch members.
* Pray, Go, Tell, and Give—these are four key ways that you can be involved.
* Volunteers are urgently needed across the country and around the world. Wycliffe Associates' volunteers free Wycliffe missionaries to do the translation work they're trained for.

Since 1967, we've been meeting Wycliffe Bible Translators' needs, and each year hundreds of volunteers discover the joyous blessing that comes with sharing their talents, time, and treasure in the ministry of Bible translation. Together, we are speeding the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators.

To God be the glory!
