Our Vision
The Word of God transforming lives in every language community through community engaged Bible Translation.
Our Mission
Provide accurate Scripture translation in written, oral and Sign languages.
About half of the world's 7,000 languages do not yet have even one translated verse of God's Word in the language of their hearts.
When God’s Word comes alive in a community’s language it brings renewal, transformation and new life. Wycliffe South Africa is privileged to partner with local churches and Bible Translation organisations across southern Africa to bring God's Word to them as soon as possible.
OUR CORE VALUES

HIS GLORY
We seek God’s glory among nations and seek every opportunity to give God all the glory. God-centred, bold, courageous and obedient; and in humility, always pointing to God.

THE WORD
We pursue the transforming power of the Word of God in our own lives and work passionately to share this with those people who still need to hear it in their own language.

THE CHURCH
We believe in the centrality of the Church in the fulfilment of God’s mission on earth. The Church is the bride of Christ, and our attitude and the way we speak about the Church should always mirror the love of Christ for His bride.

PRAYER
We are led by the Holy Spirit as we pray. Prayer is the fibre that runs through all we do, every decision we take, everyone we meet with and every project we are involved in.

RELATIONSHIP
We follow Jesus and have an authentic relationship with Him. We honour and respect all people, and endeavour to guard, strengthen and restore our relationships. We delight in working together in community for the sake of advancing His Kingdom through Bible translation in partnerships. We consider it a real privilege to participate in the Bible Translation Movement and joyfully serve all stakeholders.
THE WYCLIFFE LOGO
Our vision is the Word of God transforming lives in every language community. This explains our choice of Habakkuk 2:14 as the biblical basis for our overall vision and brand motif –
“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea”.
