Description

Hebrews 4:12a reminds us that: “ … the word of God is alive and powerful” (NLT). But what if there’s no Bible in a language you understand? How would you experience that power?

As a supported* translation consultant in training with Wycliffe Bible Translators, you will use your God-given academic and ministry skills to make a strategic and eternal impact in the global Bible translation movement.
