Spend Yourself ...
- If you spend yourselves on behalf of the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light
will rise in the darkness, and your night will become
like the noonday. (Isaiah 58:10)
Isaiah reminds us that the
people of God are called not only to spend their
money to feed the hungry, but also to spend themselves,
to pour out their lives in sacrificial service. That
service cannot be token, but must satisfy the
needs of the oppressed.
At Wycliffe, we seek to satisfy a global hunger for
God's Word. That's our vision and how we spend ourselves.
If God has given you that same heart, here are some suggestions
to help you on your journey.

free magazine Beyond Words.

in your region, or talk directly with a Wycliffe representative.
2. Pray with us
What happens next
on earth happens because people pray. History belongs
to the intercessors - and we need many more. Subscribe
to our Prayer Words newsletter online. Pray for a Wycliffe member,

cross-cultural ministry? Is Bible translation for me?

4. Share the Vision
Why not help others
find out about Wycliffe? Arrange for a Wycliffe speaker
to come to your church or small group. Email one of
our PowerPoint presentations to your friends. If you
have a website, consider hosting a Wycliffe banner.
Every little bit helps.
