Scripture Use
Wycliffe’s goal is to provide access to the Scriptures for all language communities worldwide in the language and media that best meets their needs. One way to do this is through literacy, assuming the Scriptures are available to the people in a language they know well. However, there are many in our world who will never be readers. Even in literate societies, there are individuals who prefer to learn, or assimilate information, by methods other than reading.
Scripture use is a broad category, including many varied methods to get the translated Scriptures into use and at work in people's lives. Some techniques are complex and sophisticated, others are simple.
They include the use of film, video, audio cassettes, hymnology, silkscreened t-shirts, Bible studies, the everyday spoken word and more.

While many of us may not have the opportunity to translate the Scriptures into another language, we all can become expert Scripture users. The Forum of Bible Agencies—North America is a strategic alliance of ministries specifically committed to engaging people with God's Word in its various forms. Organizations like those who are part of the Forum often assist in the development of resources and campaigns to encourage Scripture use.
