Wycliffe's Vision
Today more than 350 million people don't have access to God's Word in their heart language. Wycliffe's vision is to see the Bible accessible to all people in the language they understand best. To make this vision a reality, Wycliffe also focuses on community development, literacy development and church partnerships.
