What if you could build relationships and invite others to participate in a global movement?

 

At Wycliffe Bible Translators we believe no one should still be waiting for access to God’s Word. Scripture is foundational for evangelism, discipleship, church planting and spiritual growth, but today there are 1,200 languages that still need Bible translation work started for the first time.

• Collaborate with other senior philanthropy advisors.


• Assist with events and maintain records in the database system.


• Assist as needed to call donors, request info from other teams, give tours and share about Bible translation.
