Wycliffe Associates

Vision Statement

Wycliffe Associates have a vision to see God’s Word translated for the Bible-less peoples of the world. We help to accomplish this task by contributing our skills and resources to support Wycliffe Bible Translators Australia.

Ministry

Wycliffe Associates volunteers use their God-given talents and skills to support translators in the field. Every day, Aussie Bible translators the world over find themselves pulled away from their primary responsibility—translating the Word of God—to deal with tasks that, while important, can be accomplished by others. For example: vehicle repairs, construction or building repairs, bookkeeping, airstrip maintenance, and teaching. Whether you are young or retired – or anywhere in between – volunteering with Wycliffe Associates is a great way to serve God and support mission through:

• Practical Help
• Building Projects
• Member support
• Hospitality
• Prayer

For more information contact Wycliffe Associates Australia Coordinators – Peter & Yvonne Gillespie.

National Coordinators

Peter & Yvonne Gillespie became the National Coordinators for Wycliffe Associates Australia 3 years ago when they were looking for a way to serve God in their retirement. Not content to waste away their best years in a retirement village – Peter and Yvonne are now travelling all around the Pacific using their years of experience in agriculture, management, administration and education for the glory of God. They have a deep commitment to the gospel, Christian mission and the Bible translation task.

Over recent years Peter and Yvonne have been able to help Wycliffe Bible Translators with building projects and maintenance in Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, PNG, Melbourne and Darwin. In doing so they are continuously discovering the possibilities for Christians from all walks of life to use their skills in supporting the Bible translation movement.

Contact Peter and Yvonne to talk about how you can join them in using your skills to support the ministry of Bible Translation.
