Who We Are

A gathering of leaders from around the Alliance in July 2019

The Wycliffe Global Al­liance is a com­mu­nity of more than 100 di­verse or­ga­ni­sa­tions and networks serv­ing to­gether in Bible trans­la­tion move­ments around the world.

Alliance organisations share a common commitment: all people should have access to God’s Word in their preferred languages and formats. Hun­dreds of mil­lions of peo­ple still do not have God’s Word in the lan­guage they un­der­stand best. The Al­liance’s vi­sion is to see in­di­vid­u­als, com­mu­ni­ties and na­tions trans­formed through God’s love and Word ex­pressed in their lan­guages and cultures.
