Why Translate?

In the New Testament, Jesus Christ commanded his followers make disciples of all nations. Since Scripture is essential to knowing Jesus, it must be translated so that people everywhere can fully understand its message. As directed in this Great Commission, the Church carries the responsibility for Bible translation.  Partners in the Bible translation task—Wycliffe and others—serve the Church in this highly specialized ministry.

History documents the Bible's profoundly positive impact on individuals and societies. Its impact is greatest when written in the "heart language" of a people. Barriers to understanding the gospel are reduced. People have the opportunity to grow spiritually. Strong, healthy churches are the result. Strong churches reach out to their neighbours in acts of service, which can ultimately transform whole communities and bring glory to God.
