"A diverse group of people are needed to get a diverse job done in a diverse world…"
Wycliffe South Africa is privileged to partner with local churches and Bible Translation organisations across southern Africa to bring God's Word to language groups as soon as possible.
We have a diverse team in South Africa providing the much-needed background support (such as accounting for translation projects, training, IT, operations, and logistical support).

In the spirit of collaboration, governed by a common vision to see the Scriptures made accessible to all people in their preferred language, medium and format, several Bible translation agencies in South Africa, and local resource partners, share a commitment to work together to provide accurate Scripture translation into Written, Oral and Sign Languages.
TEAMS WORKING ABROAD
We have various Wycliffe members working in other parts of the world, all contributing to Bible translation. These include teaching children of international workers, Bible translation, literacy and Scripture engagement.
