God could have translated the Bible on his own. But instead he chose to use people.
As the vice president for human resources for Wycliffe Bible Translators, you would lead the team who is striving to find, serve and prepare people for this incredible work that God has asked us to do.
Today, over 1,800 people groups, 170 million people, still don’t have the Bible translated into their languages! Wycliffe USA believes the Word of God can transform lives when people hear it in their own language or form, and we urgently need you to join
the team!
