Meet Jared! He has been serving with Wycliffe since 2021. Since the beginning of his journey at Wycliffe, Jared has been supported through challenges.

A Supportive Team

At Wycliffe we partner with our staff as they participate in God’s mission. We help make sure that each person is ready and equipped to engage in what God is doing. With a holistic approach to comprehensive benefits, we are committed to enabling all of our staff to flourish as they use their God-given talents and abilities to support the ministry of Bible translation.

Shortly after starting his role at Wycliffe, Jared turned to his managers and team for support when his wife experienced prolonged serious health concerns. Whether he needed to take sick leave to attend doctor’s appointments with her, take time off or work remotely instead of in the office, he had the flexibility to maintain a healthy work-life balance and provide care for his wife.

The care and flexibility Jared experienced allowed him to care for his family when they needed him to be more present. He said, “I'm really grateful for the flexibility that they provided.”

Global and Transformative Impact

God is using His global Church to make Scripture available so that every man, woman and child can encounter Jesus personally and understand His love in a way that transforms their lives forever. This is why Bible translation matters: Because everyone deserves to know and understand God’s great love for them personally.

As Jared lives out his faith, he offers his unique gifts, background and experience to God. Jared has found that working at Wycliffe offers him the chance to make an impact and be part of an eternal mission.

The global Church is taking ownership of Bible translation as they translate Scripture for their own communities. Around the world, partners have embraced Vision 2025 — to see a Bible translation program in progress for every language that needs it by the year 2025 — for themselves. Local churches and partner organizations are actively developing strategies to start Bible translation for the last remaining languages that need it. Countries are achieving Vision 2025 at an unprecedented rate, with no signs of slowing down!

Seeing God move in communities around the world motivates and inspires Jared in his work.

But starting Bible translation is only the first step; work still needs to continue so that the ongoing translation needs in each community are met. As we join with people and communities around the world in this movement, we trust God to continue His work among the nations through Bible translation. God’s translated Word is transforming individuals, families and entire communities — both now and for generations to come.

We are humbled to play a role in this incredible work and are excited to see what God does next!

Ready to Do Your Part?

God invites us all, as members of the global body of Christ, to participate in His mission. When you serve in Bible translation, you’ll join in what God is doing around the world as we work toward our promised future in Revelation 7:9a: “After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb” (NLT).

So how is God inviting you to be a part of making His name known among the nations?M/p>
