What We Do

At Wycliffe Philippines, our mission is deeply rooted in the power of God's Word to transform lives and communities. Through our dedicated efforts, we embark on a multifaceted journey of impact.

First and foremost, we're passionate about Bible translation. We work tirelessly to ensure that every word of Scripture is accessible in the languages spoken across the Philippines. This endeavor is not just about linguistic accuracy; it's about bringing the message of hope, love, and salvation to individuals who have longed to hear it in their heart language.

But our work doesn't stop there. We're equally committed to promoting literacy and education, partnering with communities to empower individuals to read, learn, and grow through their newfound access to God's Word. We are the bridge that connects faith, language, and culture, ultimately bringing the transformative power of God's Word to life in countless hearts and minds across the nation.
