Six Creative Ways You Can Support Bible Translation
God is at work in communities around the world today, bringing hope and transformation through His Word. But there are people around the world who need God’s Word in their language! More than 1,400 languages still need Bible translation work started for the first time.*
You can help! Here are six creative ways you can partner with us so that more people can encounter Jesus through Scripture and be transformed.
PARTNER THROUGH PRAYER
Giving your time to your favorite cause is a great way to help your community and make a difference in people’s lives. One way you can support Wycliffe with your time is by becoming a prayer partner. When you join the prayer team, you’ll receive free resources with helpful topics and tips — plus we’ll give you prayer points for people around the world who are waiting to encounter God in a language and format they can clearly understand.
Your prayers are essential to the work of Bible translation: Become a prayer partner today!
SHARE WYCLIFFE’S WORK ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Use your voice to advocate for causes you believe in! Social media connects us with people around the world and can be a tool for awareness and change. Your posts about issues important to you can have a positive impact on your sphere of influence. You can support Wycliffe’s work by sharing on social media with those you know. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Threads or YouTube.
MULTIPLY YOUR IMPACT
There are a variety of ways for you to give your money to partner with the work God is doing around the world through Bible translation. Matching gift opportunities, like Wycliffe’s Gift Catalog, allow you to multiply your influence so that your money can go further.
You can also expand your reach through corporate matching gifts. Check to see if your employer matches charitable giving, then confirm the details with your company.
CONSIDER GIVING NON-CASH GIFTS
Did you know that you can give fine jewelry, precious metals, stocks, bonds and even real estate to support Bible translation? Use your assets to make a difference in people’s lives!
UPDATE YOUR BENEFICIARY
Bank accounts, life insurance policies, investments and retirement funds allow you to designate an organization as your beneficiary. Electing Wycliffe enables you to leave a legacy with an eternal impact through Bible translation. Wycliffe Foundation enables people to support the work of Bible translation, linguistics training, literacy efforts and more through charitable gift planning. They can help you too!
