Wycliffe USA Leaders

Wycliffe USA leaders have a passion for the glory of God through the translation of His Word for all peoples of the earth in the language they know best.

Women and men who provide leadership in the Bible translation movement, adequate to meet the needs of Vision 2025, are characterized by very specific attitudes, skills and knowledge.

Effective leadership grows out of particular attitudes toward God, others, self and the structures in which we serve. Wycliffe USA’s leaders have confidence in the sovereignty of God, a profound respect for others demonstrated through service to all, a life of integrity, and passion for accomplishing the vision of Bible translation.

Wycliffe USA’s senior leadership team, under the direction of the president, applies biblical principles and values in their decision-making and problem solving, as they work together.
