Our Mission
The mission of Wycliffe Ethiopia is to facilitate Bible translation, scripture engagement and community development in whole of creation and interpersonal collaboration with those who serve and share common values with us. It is about holistic personal transformation and community. We are about development and integral mission that care about the whole being of a person. Wycliffe Ethiopia believes all creations are created by God in diversity in such a way they can co-exist in unity for service to God and mankind. So, we believe in partnership with multiple ethnic persons and cultures. This shows the qualities and aspects of God are meant to be understood, shared and demonstrated in the languages and cultures of all people.

To answer for these needs, Wycliffe Ethiopia will work towards encouraging the churches, local governments and para-church organizations in the horn of Africa to fulfil the needs of each community. Wycliffe Ethiopia encourages and promotes the work of Bible translation and its relative activities by networking with other Organizations that share our goals and core values. Our objective is to provide an environment where many partners can serve together as colleagues within the language communities of Ethiopia and beyond.
