Wycliffe Bible Translators is a non- profit mission organization with over 6,600 members across the world.

Many people volunteer for this good cause and it has some paid employees as well.
Members must be above eighteen years old to join Wycliffe Bible Translators. Volunteers should also be eighteen years and above. Volunteers have the option of working for a year or less and are termed as guest helpers. As the work is huge, Wycliffe Bible Translators requires over 3,000 people in the translation and administrative department.
Wycliffe Bible Translators work from different places such as from urban areas, villages and also in remote places where there is minimal civilization. The passion drives the members and volunteers to reach millions of people who do not have Bible in their own language. Wycliffe Bible Translators have identified Africa, Asia and Pacific regions as having the greatest need of translation.
